I have been obsessed with encaustic art for about 10 years or so now. I absolutely love the depth and dimension it creates, but also - being a total texture junky, I can't get enough of creating different marks and deep texture on my pieces.
One way to add visual interest and beautiful marks is to use pan pastels through stencils over encaustic medium. The possibilities are absolutely endless!
For this project I used the following products:
Clear encaustic medium
Ultramarine Pale Blue encaustic medium
Unbleached Titanium encaustic medium
Hake brushes
Phthalo Blue Shade pan pastel

I really enjoyed your video showing you making this delightful project. Encaustics intrigue me; perhaps this will inspire me to try them!

DeleteEvery time I go to stencil girl, I get lost in a wonderful world. I love seeing how they’re used in so many different ways! Kari Jacobson. Karij52367@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteYou'll get lost down that rabbit hole with soooo many stencil choices! And- if you join the monthly stencil club you'll get stencils that are not available to the general public
DeleteBelieve it or not, encaustic art is one form of art I have never tried yet. Someday, I'll have to give it a try.
ReplyDeleteYou definitely should!
