Hello there friend and welcome!

Are you curious about encaustic?

 

Perhaps you already have some experience with this wax-based medium and you're ready for something more? 

 

Learn To Burn is a step-by-step online course that takes you through the process of creating and working with encaustic. 

 

You will rapidly advance your technical skills so you can focus on creating your artworks... instead of wasting valuable time troubleshooting your way through the process.

 

In the Learn To Burn course I've included my signature techniques so you can create your own beautiful artworks in this versatile wax-based medium.

In case we haven't met by now...my name is

Alicia Tormey. I'm an educator and artist who's been working with encaustic for the past 27 years.

 

I know how challenging this medium can be so I created this course to help you bypass those hurdles and avoid the common mistakes that can leave you feeling frustrated and defeated.

Thanks to Alicia's course, I'm finally able to get the results I've been trying to achieve for years. This online course really helped me get my groove back.

Lifetime Access To Your Course Content! 

You have full access to the entire course contents any time you wish. As long as our website servers are up and running you will be able to log on and view the online content. 

 

While there is no substitute for live, in-person instruction, this course was created to be the next best thing. So if you can't make it to Alicia's Studio, you can still join her as she guides you through the methods that she has developed over her nearly 20 years of encaustic painting.

 

Alicia's Live Workshops are hugely sought after and often sold out... but now you can access her workshop content anytime with no expiration date!*  

 

*Be sure to check out our F A Q's below for more insights about this course!

You get the same in-depth information shared in the Live Studio Workshops with no need to travel.

 

Most students regard the course tuition as an educational investment in their own art practice that is quickly regained in the form of saved time and fewer wasted materials. Results may vary... but many of Alicia's students have gone on to exhibit and sell their own work after taking her courses. Even experienced encaustic painters come away from her workshops with new insights and fresh inspiration to elevate their own work.

 

We would love to meet you in person... but we understand that it 's just not possible for everyone to travel to the Live events so Alicia packed all the encaustic training that she shares in her in-person Workshops into this online course just for you.
