Online through Winslow Art Center Tuesdays, June 17-July 1, 2025 All levels welcome Photographers seem especially drawn to working with wax because of the variety of ways their images can be reborn in a new medium. Working with encaustic expands the traditional methods of hand coloring photographs, also allowing you to easily add texture.
Working with encaustic expands the traditional methods of hand coloring photographs, allowing you to add rich texture and depth. The look you achieve depends on how you choose combine colorful encaustic paint, drawing materials, pigment sticks, and pastels. I’ll walk you through these techniques using two different projects, sharing how I layer materials and bring my own images to life.
The best part? The process is very forgiving. Changes can be made easily as you work, with your original photograph protected by our first layers of wax. I often work with photos taken on my iPhone, so no fancy camera gear is needed. And if you’d like to follow along step-by-step, I’ll share the same images I’ll use in the demos for you to download. Join me with an open mind, ready to experiment and explore new creative possibilities.
