Encaustic Techniques
These pages are the original techniques sections
that show some of the approaches to encaustic art, here mostly as a hobby
art form.
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.
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
