I attended an encaustic painting workshop at Wasps Artists’ Studio on 26th October, 2015. This was a very tactile technique with the layering and scrapping back of  hot wax on the surface of the work. Pigment was added to wax to produce wonderful colour, over-lapping to increase opacity. The wax dried very quickly and was enjoyable to work with. The scrapping technique offered fantastic surface texture either adding detail or revealing other layers or colour below the surface. The smell in the studio was amazing!
