Kathy Laybourn’s one woman show at the Pollard Gallery will be featuring a relatively new technique for her, encaustic painting.
Encaustic is an ancient technique used as far back as the Egyptians. Traditionally, oil paint is combined with a beeswax mixture and applied to either a canvas or board support. Then, the mixture is heated, in this case, with a heat gun. The paint is applied in layers as in more traditional painting techniques.

Bring friends, meet Kathy, and enjoy her and her art at her Friday, May 2, opening. Continue reading →
