Finishing Watercolor Paintings With Encaustic !

Super fun way to add a lasting  finish to a water color painting ? Encaustic of course ! 
The watercolor will need to be mounted permanently to a rigid surface like a wood cradle board. 
This week's video shows exactly how to mount and finish a water color painting with a beautiful dreamy encaustic finish. 

This way of mounting is archival and made to last.  I used Arches water color paper , wood cradle board,  PVA archival bookbinder's glue , and beautiful beeswax and damar resin . 

If you would like much more in depth tutorials on encaustic and watercolor + an entire library of encaustic techniques to explore ,"  Encausticology 101 " online workshop is available to jump in 24/7 with lifetime access !
