encaustic

I'm learning to do 'encaustic' art (art with wax).

Very cool. I like that piece.

I like it, had never heard of encaustic. So much better than caustic. ;-)

Fantastic - are you teaching yourself or are you doing a course. Very envious.

@jocasta @jack4john I've just been watching a ton on online tutorials. As far as the beeswax, John, I use RF brand encaustic medium and the 'two parts' are already blended together. Just use a hot plate (on low temp) to melt and use a natural bristle brush (synthetic melts) and just dip your brush in the wax and paint. Super addicting....

Never heard of this process but it is beautiful Krista

I have never heard of this before. I really like it.
