From Fresco to Flame Presentation

Curious about how I combine fresco and encaustic techniques?
Check out the presentation I gave at this year’s International Encaustic Conference in Provincetown! It’s now available to watch on YouTube—get inspired and see how these two timeless methods come together in my practice.

But that’s just the beginning. The possibilities of wax painting are incredibly rich and varied.

Testimonials

Having taken two classes with Bettina, I think I would follow her to the moon for a third or fourth! Bettina is lovely to work with, knowledgeable in both fresco and encaustic, able to translate both process and product to students’ experience, and able to provide feedback and critique along the way. Her work is absolutely stunning! You just want to scoop it all up, or learn how to attempt creating your own primative versions. Fresco, like encaustic, is an ancient art, transcending norms and boundaries as we know them. Durable, complex, earthy and beautiful - Bettina will transport you back in time to learn this method and forward again to work this into your modern practice.

I had the good fortune of taking an Encaustic and Fresco class with Bettina Egli. She is an amazing instructor. Her process for teaching a complicated topic was well-planned and thoughtful. Her concern for helping her students understand the materials and techniques was paramount throughout this 7-day class. Her demonstrations were timely and filled with important tips. She allowed plenty of time for hands-on learning. Thanks to Bettina, I finished the class with the ability and knowledge to implement this technique in my own studio. I’m so thankful I had the opportunity to work with her. I highly recommend that you take her class—you will gain a wealth of knowledge!!!!!

Bettina is a wonderful artist and educator. Working with her at a retreat last year I learned fresco techniques but also ways of viewing and relating to my own work that will impact my studio practice forever. It would be an honor to take any class she offered in the future.

Wonderful course with Bettina! Bettina is a tutor with a wealth of knowledge, which she shares in a clear, well-structured and practical way. She responds to each participant individually and offers great support with image composition. On top of that, she’s warm, great fun to be around, the food is excellent, and the working atmosphere is fantastic – a truly productive week. Many thanks!

Five stars! Bettina Egli Sennhauser shares her knowledge and wealth of experience with great dedication and expertise. I learned a lot in the encaustic course and received inspiring ideas and valuable tips that I can now take back to my studio. Many thanks!
