Acrylic & Watercolour
Acrylic and Watercolours are mediums I have begun using in the last couple of years.
What is Encaustic?
Encaustic painting is painting with beeswax. It is an ancient form of painting before oils and acrylic were created. Encaustic painting wasn’t very common in the modern in age until a few artists discovered it more recently. It has become quite common in the US as a form of collage creating and alternative painting.
The Process
Melt wax on an electric griddle or fry pan, and you can use multiple layers to create abstract or realism paintings. You can embed, manipulate and change wax as much as you like by reheating with a heating gun. You can use oils, oil pastels to pigment the clear or yellow wax.
