Over the summer i took an encaustic mixed media art class with Andrea Benson. I went to her studio downtown and was able to learn how to work with wax. I had alot of fun because i have never done encaustic work before and it was fun to learn from her. She was a very good teacher and i was able to make two pieces of small artwork in a day; one of which i brought into school as a summer piece of artwork. I really enjoyed taking the class and would recommend it to anyone looking to try out encaustic painting.
here is an ecaustic peice that Andrea has created for her 2010 Gallery.. http://www.andreabenson.com/Images2010/blanket.html i saw this piece in her gallery while i was there.
