"Painting With Fire"

Encaustic Live Demonstration and Conversation with the Artist 

​

Richard Coico

​

On Saturday July 24th starting at 6pm

-

In this demonstration visitors will get a chance to observe the artist at work and learn about the raw materials used to prepare encaustic medium.

Richard will demonstrate the application of the medium to a birch panel and the blow-torch fusion process. Visitors will witness how molten wax and color pigments are transformed into images by overlaying more medium and resin.

"The process of encaustic painting is obviously one that requires a significant learning period, knowledgeable mentoring and a healthy respect for the power that fire brings to the creation of unique art pieces"
