You may be aware of the wonderful instructional encaustic books by Joanne Mattera and Linda Womack.  Now we have a beautiful new book by Patricia Seggebruch called Encaustic Workshop: Artistic Techniques for Working with Wax.

From the jacket:

“In it’s purest form, encaustic painting is as simple as applying melted beeswax to an absorbent surface.  In Encaustic Workshop, it becomes much more: a dynamic medium where anything goes and the possibilities are endless.  Packed with step-by-step techniques, helpful tips and diverse examples of completed works, Encaustic Workshop brings all the accessibility and excitement of a mixed-media workshop to your own workspace.  If you’re a beginner, you’ll find everything you need to know to get started.  If you’re a more advanced crafter or fine artist, you’ll discover things you never knew you could do with encaustic.”
