ENCAUSTIC PAINTING AND COLLAGE.

THE PROCESS OF ENCAUSTIC PAINTING AND COLLAGE:
1)Tools, hot gun, encaustic iron 2) Wax/Oil Pigment blocks 3) Tools, tape, scrapers from
oil paint, etc. and or reg. oil paints in tubes, items from the kitchen or garage sales....all used to
work the surface, to scrape, to make texture.










4)Cheap hardware store brushes 5)Warming tray/Cheap pot 6)Baby Crock pot to keep
brushes (all purchased fromTarget or Walmart, etc.) Wax mixture melted at an
expressly even temperature for wax work

6)Packages of Beeswax with resins (For students, I use pure bees wax, mixed with soy candle wax (from a craft store), and walnut oil medium for a binder and drier. This is safe so that we do not need a ventilation system. Ahhhhh, school teachers and momma's...we are sooooo adaptable!!!
NOW FOR KEITH'S IMAGERY:


After working in Encaustic using my own guile and skill, I took a teachers' workshop at the New Orleans Center for Creative Art (Louisiana's State Visual and Performing Arts High School) Summer 2005 (one month before Katrina hit)

My Imagery:

MATERIALS (Encaustic wax, oil paint, paper sewing envelope pattern pieces, heavy fiber architecture model board paper)
