Wax isn't just for candles. Also known as hot wax painting, the encaustic medium uses heated, pigmented beeswax to create one-of-a-kind wall art. You're sure to love the results of using this timeless medium with a stencil and luxurious gold embellishing wax.

Thanks for watching how to do Encaustic do you think you will give it a go?

@loriditto1128 2 года назад

It looked like you were using regular stretched canvas for acrylic and oil painting. For whoever is watching, you really should use Clayboard or wood panels for encaustic. Stretched canvas allows movement of the substrate, and can cause the wax to crack or peel off. Just some friendly advice. Otherwise, great video! Thanks!😀❤️

@TracyDaviesart Месяц назад

Fusing is the term for ensuring each layer sticks to the next. The wax doesn’t stick to the substrate without encaustic gesso unless you are working on wood. These are so beautiful. I really hope they last and don’t flake away over time ❤

Kari-you are amazing! We were partners in France learning plaster and painting frescoes together-you were the one that always had the prettiest end painting! It’s so nice to see you sharing your god given talent with the world-folks you will never find a better mentor than Kari!

Georgia Morrow thanks beautiful! Loved our time in France 🇫🇷 together. Where are you living now? 😘

@trishbatten2008 2 года назад

Love this painting!

@halraines9 4 года назад

Okay, I grumped about the sound. I think the encaustic is very interesting. Thx for sharing. Woo, good work.

Very amazing! Thanks!

@rockfordmel 4 года назад

Thank you for this informative video, Kari. Is the starter kit still available?

@nunawatson4307 4 года назад

Kari, thank you for sharing, I wouldn’t have thought of canvas, I also saw someone using tiles. I think the smaller canvases would work rather than the large. Large might sag, unless spiratically done.

@derickelsner6802 4 года назад

Is that canvas? Encaustic needs rigid and absorbent like wood panel

@rosarebada4777 3 года назад

Kari, do you use any kind of hardening agent like damar in your wax? I thought your project was a good introductory idea. Thank you ... with blessings.

@marylouharkins5887 3 месяца назад

Have you ever tried encaustic gesso? Thinking that might help avoid the wax pulling away from canvas. Enjoyed your lesson. Has inspired me to pull out my encaustic supplies and play.

@Jane-px8gw Год назад

You do not mention the base coat you put on your panel. Why not ?

@rebeccaferrier4666 Год назад

Thanks I have been very curious about encaustic painting and this was very informative. The link for the starter kit - they dont seem to caryy? Any other suggestions? Thanks so much

@sueshanks9447 3 года назад

Good tip on how to melt the wax on the burner and using clothespins to lift it off the burner !

@elenipapaioannou8429 2 года назад

Kari, your video were very interesting. Iwant to sk yoy what s the name of the furniture cleaner for the brushes and where can I find it. Thank you

@keo4604 4 года назад

Hi Kari, could you tell me if this heat gun is like a hot air blower?

@cherylschumaker1366 3 месяца назад

It looks like shail reLly pretty ..I wonder what it would look like with resin poured over it ? Make a counter top ...???

@aprilsmommy1 4 года назад

Kari. this is so cool. Can I use acrylic with this, like on top when done with the wax and such? Thank you for sharing. I just subscribed, Looking forward to watching more. :)

@pattihough8331 4 года назад

You should not use acrylic over beeswax and damar (encaustic).

@rainey53 2 года назад

Can you share some info on that stencil? What's it called? It almost looks like a silkscreen in the way you are squeegeeing the wax through it.

@TracyDaviesart Месяц назад

How is the wax still wet in the can lid when it’s not on a heated surface? My wax dries when it’s not on a heat source?

@nunugeldenhuys1029 3 года назад

Can I use candle of bee wax to practice first. Or wax crayons?

@karennaturallyartby 3 года назад

Question about sealing or varnishing this medium- is this necessary to protect the artwork? If so, what should be used? Also, can you use acrylic paint with this for a mixed media process?

@TracyDaviesart Месяц назад

You don’t varnish wax. Heating acrylic paint is dangerous. Perhaps watch a video about encaustic by a company like enkaustiko or Cama. To make an encaustic shine - buff it really well with a piece of nylon stocking.

is that the way they make it back in the days?

@jennaruddell5977 3 года назад

I know this video is a year old, however, I'm just getting started in encaustic painting, I see the kit is no longer available, could you please clarify 2 things for me....will mica powder work just the same as the powder you are showing in this video & whats the name of the furniture cleaner for the brushes that I might find it on amazon? THANK YOU

@KariCaldwellStudios 3 года назад

Yes the kits are out of stock as the warehouse was hit by a tornado and then covid etc.... here is a link for furniture cleaner and yes fine grain micas work

@jennaruddell5977 3 года назад

@@KariCaldwellStudios thank you so much for your timely response - I'm going to dive in & give this a try. My hope is to be able to make journal covers with this method. Do you have any extra tips/tricks for that? My only real concern is what to put on the top as a "SEALER" so it becomes a sturdy surface that will last as a journal cover.

@Olhamo 3 года назад

what about using a candle such as for a fondue pot, instead of an electric hotplate? Bonus is, you could enjoy the benefits of a beeswax candle!

@trishbatten2008 2 года назад

Where do you get the kit? Trish

@KariCaldwellStudios 2 года назад

Hi thanks for watching so sorry those kits are discontinued by company ;(

@lynnesachs2330 4 месяца назад

Just why would you remove the wax? It’s going to cool down super fast I don’t understand you’re teaching one bit.

@randigreen2108 4 года назад

Did you use Soy or Beeswax?????

@1111guru 4 года назад

wow your info is really off. sorry to say. encaustic medium always has resin. that's what hardens it..

@KariCaldwellStudios 4 года назад

Judith Brock correct and more toxic but art can be anything. I still love looking at my piece. Thanks for watching 😘

@Olhamo 3 года назад

@@KariCaldwellStudios I have been wondering if I could use some myrrh. I would also enjoy the ambience of it. To me, part of the allure of encaustic is to have a non-toxic experience. I watched a lady years back on YT who wanted a cold wax so she could be more free of all the heat and melting, and she created a medium using pure orange oil. the little canvases are sweet. you could do a whole wall of those. Would ‘t want to go much bigger, before using wood. Am enjoying this! And your work is resonating what I love currently about mono type printmaking also.

@TosaNewsense 2 года назад

@@KariCaldwellStudios Actually, the resin used in encaustic is damar wax, which is not at all toxic. It's so safe that it's used to seal wooden crates that transport our organic fruits from farms to supermarkets.

@loriditto1128 2 года назад

Oh! And make sure you fuse between every layer😀

@lynnesachs2330 4 месяца назад

Hello Sox ? Bees wax really ? There different. Why would you teach someone that just wondering

@halraines9 4 года назад

Please speak louder. The captions help, but wow, your sound equipment -- it's very tough to hear. I worked in digital media forever. I wish I could help mic you. Your audience would grow exponentially if they could understand your instructions.

@patriciawhittle1520 4 года назад

DO NOT use soy-

@patriciawhittle1520 4 года назад

encaustic needs beeswax and damar crystals

@TosaNewsense 2 года назад

Exactly. I was going to say this. Soy wax always contains paraffin, it's part and parcel of the soy wax making process- no way around it. Therefore, soy wax is actually Toxic. But it's fine to melt it in order to clean our brushes ;)
