Location: Steel House, Rockland (Location tentative)

Whatever your interest, the light, the bold and grittiness of Coastal towns, or a simple end-of-day view, Hélène will walk you through creating your own authentic interpretation of the Maine landscape using encaustic painting. Mixing colors, color temperature, compositional design, surface design and abstract/realistic/ poetic interpretations whilst exploring safe and basic encaustic techniques.

Encaustic wax painting uses heated wax and pigments to create layered images. Artists are drawn to this quick-drying medium for its rich depth and ability to build up translucent layers. It's both a painterly and sculptural material in one, offering endless possibilities for texture, luminosity, and details.

Join instructor Hélène Farrar the Friday evening before for beverages and a snack on the deck at the Steel House overlooking Rockland Harbor to get acquainted and lay out the following day.
