Encaustic Painting Demonstration by John Webster
The Manchester Artist Association is pleased to announce a presentation by Encaustic
painter John Webster at our monthly Membership Meeting on Monday January 2, 2023. In his presentation, Mr. Webster will discuss and demonstrate the technique of encaustic painting, also known as hot wax painting, using heated beeswax to which colored pigments are added. The liquid or paste is then applied to a surface—usually prepared wood, though canvas and other materials are often used.
Mr. Webster’s work, including photographs and paintings, has been shown throughout New England and has won countless awards. His artwork has been displayed at the Massachusetts State House, Stoneham Art Gallery, Rockport Art Association Contributing Member’s Exhibit, Malden Guild of Artists Exhibits, Saugus Rotary Exhibit, the Charlestown Preservation Society, The Malden Public Library and many other venues The presentation is free and open to the general public.
