How I made this encaustic painting.

noreply@blogger.com (Karl) — Fri, 10 May 2013 16:36:00 +0000

12" x12" encaustic painting.

This block of encaustic is 13"x13"x 1.75". About 150 layers each layer brushed on and fused. Before I start to cut I warm it up using a heat lamp.

First cut using a small loop tool. These tools are used for making dentures.

Next a hot putty knife.

Another hot putty knife.

The tools.

Clean up.

By-product that I will use later.

Close up after it is cleaned up.

Lay out on panel. The panel has 10 layers of encaustic on it.

Welding the color strip to the panel using a torch.

Close up after the weld.

Build a dam around the panel using blue paint tape.

Pour clear encautic medium over the whole panel.
