Description

Learn encaustic art techniques with an experienced artist and tutor. You will not believe how creative you are until you try this workshop... Fantasy castles, unbelievable abstracts, fabulous flowers, landscapes - all this and more awaits! This course is available Monday to Friday 10am - 6pm. Contact Phil to book a time and date to suit you. NB This taster course can be taken as a one-to-one, please see my other listing. Suitable for everyone, an experience not to be missed and you will have fun - what's not to like. During the workshop you will learn techniques of encaustic wax painting. Phil will demonstrate and show you how to use this fantastic medium and you will produce several wax paintings which are yours to keep. By the end of the session you will be able to use the basic tools of encaustic wax painting to produce your own work. Phil provides a fun and informative workshop but be warned this form of art is highly addictive - you are going to love it! The course will take place in my art studio overlooking my garden which is in the pretty village of Wilstone, near the Grand Union canal and the Wilstone reservoirs nature reserve (Hertfordshire/Buckinghamshire border). Easy, FREE parking available. My cottage is three doors away from a picturesque pub which serves excellent affordable fayre. I only run courses for a maximum of two people and later courses can be tailored to your developing skills if required individually or in pairs.
