This class is for everyone, whether you're a beginner or experienced artist.
Love working with mixed-media? Join Alexandra Reid as she helps you to explore the world of creating with hot wax and oil paint, called encaustic painting.
In this class you will receive a quick overview of encaustic painting through the ages, and then on to learning the basic tools and techniques.
Some of the things we will cover in this class:
