*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.
