Welcome
to
"Wax on Wednesday" !
I am so excited that you are joining me for the very first
Wax on Wednesday of the summer.
Each week I will be showing a small video of my encaustic work.
This is not meant to be a workshop or tutorial ,
but I do give some tips, and show you how I go about my encaustic painting, and hopefully you will be encouraged to give this awesome medium a go!

Some Wednesdays will be abstract , stylized, scenic, photos etc. colorful, muted, depending on my
mood in the studio that week :)
This first one is a very basic landscape encaustic painting .
This is tiny 4x4 " masonite board, and can be completed in a couple of hours.
Some encaustic paintings have many many layers and take days to complete.

Each layer has to be heat fused in between so that it will adhere to the layer underneath it.
This is the key to success !
Sometimes you will see me use a heat gun,
and sometimes a torch. Since this is a very tiny painting, and I am in the upstairs studio, I am just using a small butane torch on this one.
(I'll get out the big guns on another Wednesday )

I have prepped the board with R and F encaustic gesso (love that stuff ).
I used Shivas and oil pastels for color this week.
Sometimes painting directly with the paintisticks, sometimes with my fingers, and sometimes incorporating the oil color into the wax and using a brush.
This is a time lapsed video , sped up significantly so that I don't bore you to death :) , but so that you get an idea of how layers and textures of wax can be built up to add dimension.
Hope that you enjoy !
