Advice on what you need & How to begin Encaustic art safely |
Easy approaches to the Basics of Abstract and Pattern Ideal for any skill level. |
Compiling simple landscapes Use the four main effects of smoothing, lifting, edge work and point / tip of the iron to compile wonderful landscapes. Ideal for anyone. |
Developing landscape a bit... carrying on from the module above. Create and paint magical "mindscapes" that just emerge. Its an intriguing and often mystical voyage. |
Combining
Encaustic with rubber stamps or other graphic images Can't draw? Then a rubber stamp reproduces a graphic image easily. Ideal for any skill level. |
A bit more on stamps with wax some basics of using stamped images with wax |
Using stamps directly in the molten wax with the upturned iron or hotplate |
Working Encaustic on Fabrics Printing encaustic artwork onto fabric |
Working with the Stylus for details A low-heat tool enabling careful control of the wax, much like a pen. It is good for blending and enables greater control for draing and graphical input |
Blowing wax with Hot Air Wax can be melted by any heat source, so hot air is a great way of affecting the wax colours without direct contact. Some hair dryers & hot air paint strippers are great for this, but be warned, they can get dangerously hot!!! |
Fantasy & Imaginative Vision In creative work you move into the unknown. Chaos and abstract are both places allowing creativity opportunity to manifest. Choose an "approach" for your work/method then allow your mind to open to what emerges as you proceed |
