what is the difference of waxes when sealing watercolor for protection and encaustic?
@LDFDesignsArt9 күн бұрын
I'm not sure if fully understand your question, however, in the video I am making a watercolor painting, letting it dry then adding encaustic to the surface. Watercolor is acceptable under encaustic

Is there a reason you use tar rather than oil sicks to define your textures?
@LDFDesignsArt18 күн бұрын
Hi! I like the tone it creates. It's difficult to replicate. I also like how grungy it looks. Oil paints can work as well.

Hi I watched your project. I really liked the piece of walnut did you say it was ? Where did you get that if you don’t mind that I ask. I would tell you be very careful with the Posca pens as for me the work like that real nice mark making then it could just pour out all over and ruin the piece your working on. Mine do this a lot so I have leaned to let it pour out on a separate piece of paper then use a brush or what ever you want to use and proceed. I like the nails and wire pretty cool. Did you use a wood stain lighter than the wood?
@LDFDesignsArt2 ай бұрын
Hi Lynne! I believe it is walnut, yes. I actually searched on FB marketplace for scrap wood or something and found a couple of sellers. I secured several types of hardwoods in varying sizes. I did stain the wood with a slightly darker water based stain. I'll have to keep an eye on those pens. I hadn't heard that they are leaky. That's good to know. Thank you for watching! And the tip!!

The encaustic? It is recommended to have good ventilation when using encaustic, and it should not be heated over 180°F for long periods of time.

Hi. I’m wondering if you could use acrylic paint?
@LDFDesignsArt3 ай бұрын
Hi! Great question. Generally acrylic is not compatible with encaustic. I am not aware of any artist that uses it on the surface, but there are a few who use it sparingly under encaustic. The "plastics" in acrylic paint will not adhere to the encaustic. They repel each other.
