Art comes in all forms and when you plant a seed at the Women’s Agricultural Union about art, they will come up with the most amazing ideas.
On Saturday, July 13, Dirkina de Klerk visited the WAU Soirée branch and demonstrated a technique called encaustic wax, which is a historical painting technique where the wax is heated up and painted with.
Encaustic paint is a combination of beeswax, pigment, and a small amount of hardener.
This technique was first recorded over 2 000 years ago.
The most well-known examples of the medium are Roman funerary portraits from 100 to 300 AD.
The branch had so much fun with this technique and quickly mastered it.
The ladies enjoyed this workshop.
Two new members were also welcomed – Roslyn Parker and Louise de Lange are now part of the Soirée family.
At the most recent meeting of the WAU Soirée branch, they focused on creativity as they made stunning surprise cards and present bowshttps://t.co/6cO2q0lQtV #WAU #WitbankNews
