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.
