Introduction to Encaustics

Landscape Painting with Wax: It’s So Easy!
Learn how to paint an abstract landscape using encaustics. If you’ve never painted with wax before, this medium has some exciting possibilities that makes it both fun (and easy) to work with, as well as creating some really cool effects.

In Encaustic Adventure with Bela Fidel (Parts 1 and 2): Preparation & Layering, Bela reviews the encaustic supplies and safety (especially important when working with hot materials) you’ll need, then demonstrates color mixing and layering to achieve stunning results. Once you have the supplies and paint techniques down, Bela takes you through the steps to create an abstract landscape painting using layers of color and a variety of application techniques.

You’ll love learning the paint techniques used in encaustics, and abstract art is a fun way to learn how to adapt encaustics to landscape painting without worrying too much about capturing exactly what you see.

Preview Encaustic Adventure with Bela Fidel (parts 1 and 2) now to learn about what encaustic supplies you’ll need to get started, as well as how to begin layering your colors.
