Hot Wax -- Encaustic Painting with Anna Hamann

Since our February meeting was cancelled due to an avalanche of snow, member Anna Hamann will be doing her presentation about encaustic painting this month. We’re glad we didn’t miss it!

INKY -- ENCAUSTIC PAINTING

Anna will be doing a presentation at our February meeting. She writes: I paint wildlife and pet portraits in watercolor, mixed media, and encaustic. I also dabble in the art of animal sculpture. My paintings are not literal, as I prefer the viewer’s mind to bring the animals and birds to life. I became interested in encaustic four years ago after reading an article in an Art Magazine. In that article, the artist worked with crayolas. With a big arsenal of crayolas, my daughter was in elementary school at the time; and encaustic books in hand, I tried the medium and fell in love with it. I love all the crayola colors and the spontaneity of the medium. However, working with encaustics is challenging since I never know what the melted wax will do.
