Fun Encaustic Texture Techniques Week  #4

3/25/2020

1 Comment

'Here we are in the last week of "Texture Month" and many around the world are 
a little stressed  and perhaps secluded with their loved ones indoors.  These
are times that even when you know that creating art will help improve your mood and 
be a true comfort to you, sometimes the "flow" refuses to come.  Perhaps
we are more concerned , worried , or stressed than we realized. 
I myself have noticed the struggle and went through 3 different ideas for 
this last week of texture before I found my natural rhythm . 
To find my rhythm I have to be truly "in tune" with what I am doing and not 
what is going on around me. I have to be able to find that "freedom" from everything else before
I can cease to struggle and enjoy the process of letting things happen in my painting . This is probably 
why art is therapeutic for many of us. But you still have to get there. 
I hope you enjoy this week's natural textures, and find your creative freedom 
this week and always :) 
Blessings,
Shari

Wax on Wednesdays Creating Unique Textures!

Happy Wax on Wednesdays !
I hope that wherever you are in the world, that you and your 
​loved ones are safe . 
I wanted to continue our theme of texture this month but if you can't get out to get new supplies, or boards, 
etc. ,encaustic is the very best medium to create with ! ( I may be slightly biased :) 
Why ?
Because encaustic  can completely be recycled !
Not just painted over , you can do that with any medium. 
Encaustic can be completely reactivated and reused !
Today I am taking the 2 paintings from last week's Wax on Wednesday and using a technique
I call "overfusing" to move the pigment around and create 2 completely different paintings 
with no added wax !

I took the scrap wood from all of the houses I made in  "Encausticology Home Stories" workshop and use them to create stamps for great texture in my paintings. This week I created 3 stamps from small stones in my backyard . I sorted the natural stones into different groups according to size that would create different depths in my wax. I want to have a similar depth on each stamp to make as even impression as possible with the natural rocks.

Wax on Wednesdays Part 2 Texture Month !

sContinuing "Texture" month with a super fun and easy encaustic techniques this week !
I got some copper wire from my local  hardware store. This is a very large gauge wire but it is fun
to use a variety of gauges for this technique . It also does not have to be copper . I use copper because it
is very easy (even at this thick gauge) to simply manipulate it by hand  without using any tools,just bend it and go. 

This one simple handmade tool can now create a huge variety of marks on the encaustic surface
by slightly heating  the end you are using  for just a couple of seconds on the griddle or hot plate.

Wax on Wednesdays Playing Around with Fun Texture and Marks!

Hello and Welcome ! 
This week playing around with some of my favorite techniques in mark and texture. 
I love using graphite in mixed media art. Seeing grungy, graffiti like writing, and marks, with graphite 
is one of the things that makes my heart sing. But how can graphite be applied on top of an
encaustic surface ? There are a couple of ways to achieve this look on your encaustic surface and 
this week I show one of the ways it can be achieved .
