<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\nBeginners start here to learn about Encaustic Wax Painting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
New to encaustic painting, that’s great! You’ll love working with this versatile art medium as much as I do!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Encaustic can be frustrating and very forgiving all rolled into one. When you aren’t happy with a result, scrape down to start over or keep working in layers on top of a piece. You can return to a painting years later, fuse it and start to paint again. It is all too easy as a beginner to encaustic painting to over fuse or scrape too hard or too soon into soft wax and ruin what you had. Practice does help an artist develop skill with the medium and tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wax is a beautiful medium for working with photography and collage. It is an ongoing journey of discovery. Welcome.<\/p>\n\n\n
