Workshops with Francisco Benitez

Francisco Benitez teaches workshops and does demos on a regular basis, for the ancient figurative encaustic technique. His focus is to transmit knowledge of the ancient Greeks by showing how to use the various ancient and modern tools, and imbuing his students with a sense of working with the four-color flesh palette. He also teaches the history of encaustic and ancient painting, and shows how to prepare panels, make an initial sketch, and build up the painting in layers.
