Encaustic Painting from Observation


Painting Representationally in Encaustic 
with Ellen Koment and Felix Voltsinger:
Felix Voltsinger, Afternoon Chianti
Don't bypass this wonderful opportunity to explore a different dimension in encaustic, to use the skills you may have from other mediums, and incorporate them with encaustic. Felix is a graduate of the St. Petersburg Academy of Art, and was a conervator at the Hermitage Museum, where he became familiar with the ancient encaustic techniques. A gifted teacher and artist, new doors in encaustic painting will be opened for you during this workshop.
