GINGER SEYBECK-ROYSE
ENCAUSTIC PAINTING WORKSHOP

Encaustic Painting

Artists have practiced the technique of encaustic painting for over two thousand years. It is the oldest painting technique still in use today! One of the earliest applications of encaustic painting dates back to ancient Greece, where artists highlighted the features of marble statues with wax paints. This treatment adorned many statues that greet visitors at the gates of the Acropolis. Encaustic painting was so popular that the artists of that day referred to their wax paints as “waxes” just as modern artists speak of their “oils” and “watercolors”. This incredibly durable medium was used to adorn not only sculptures, but murals, boats, and architecture. The Greeks also used wax paints in the earliest form of easel painting.

Sunday, March 28, and Monday, March 29 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
