Wax on Wednesdays What Would Happen If .. ?
Happy Wax on Wednesdays !
A lot of my practice with encaustic is exploring the possibilities .
What is possible with this wonderful medium?
What is it capable of .
When exploring these pathways sometimes
I am met with what feels like a wall.
It can't do that .
But a lot of times
I also think that if I take a few steps back and figure out how
to approach the same question later on in a different way
it may be possible, I just haven't approached it in the right way yet .
There are a lot of Wax on Wednesdays videos now, well over 100.
I thought it would be fun to introduce a new segment for 2019
"What would happen if ... ?"
Even I don't know, it is an all new question. Not all will come out the way they were planned , but they will all come out to something as there are no mistakes in encaustic !
This week I wanted to try a technique that I have been working with
in acrylic pours with a balloon dip. It created a beautiful leafy vain sort of mark and
wanted to see if it would transfer over in wax when the wax was in a fluid state.
Supplies I used this week :
Each week I list the supplies I used in the video here on the blog for you so that you can see and easily find the items used for that week's technique .
If you purchase items from the links provided it sometimes generates a few cents in commission which goes right back in to creating videos for you on the youtube channel. It does not raise the cost for you in any way, and is the same link you would find on a regular amazon prime search . Thank you ahead for you support of Wax on Wednesdays in any way ! Also , although the photos here can help you easily find the product . I also recommend that you look at your local art /hobby store to make sure you are getting the lowest price. Sometimes with weekly 40% off coupons basic items can be found at a better price.
