What You Will Learn?

  • Ready to take your encaustic skills to the next level? This intermediate (or adventurous beginner) class will show you step by step how to incorporate screen printing (or silkscreen) into your encaustic paintings. Without having to purchase expensive supplies, you can print beautiful designs directly onto your paintings or indirectly add them via paper or fabric prints..
  • The materials you will need include:.
  • An encaustic painting, or panel ready to add encaustic medium.
  • A silkscreen (don't worry, I show you how to make a simple one using a mat board and polyester organza- things you can get from your local art and/or fabric store).
  • Oil based ink (I like water soluble oil based printmaking ink such as Speedball fabric block printing ink or Charbonnel Aqua Wash etching ink).
  • A "squeegee" or card like an old license or credit card to spread the ink through the screen..
  • Sheer paper such as Japanese Rice Paper (Sumi Drawing paper) and/or sheer fabric such as polyester organza for printing directly onto..
  • Get ready to start creating fabulous and unique encaustic paintings while combining printmaking methods!.
