Happy Wax on Wednesdays !
This week I was using some masonite board as my test palette for all of the encaustic paint I was creating for the workshops. This provided a wonderful opportunity to watch what magic would happen to the wax with the torch and heat gun were used at different angles , distances, etc.
I also covered one of my test boards with white encaustic paint and then went in an 'excavated " the colors ! This is an exciting exploration of the magic that the wax can create . I love the moment , and action of the fluid encaustic colors as they bloom and blend .
I hope you enjoy it ! See you next week :)
Supplies I used this week :
Some of the following links are affiliate links where I may receive a few cents back if you purchase them from Amazon. I am using it both as an easy way for you to find the products( or at least see what they look like ) and hopefully a way to continue to bring you weekly videos with new techniques and products :)
NOTE: the link I have for the encaustic medium this week is for a 5 lb bag. It also comes in 1 lb but the link to the store was too high in price for just the 1lb and I don't want to steer you wrong on that :)
