Mixed Media & Encaustic Collage Painting - Part 3

[@velmabrasseur4913]

Been painting for more than fifty years, and this is one of the loveliest paintings I have ever seen!

[@IvyNewport]

Oh my goodness! Thank you!!!! So kind!

[@kimwilkins7344]

You are absolutely an amazing artist!! I loved every minute of these 3 videos and I learned so much!! Thank you so so much for sharing!

[@lifemademary]

This piece moved me to tears. Beautiful work. Thank you for sharing the entire process with us.

[@IvyNewport]

You are so welcome! xoxo

[@fberb]

Great video, I enjoyed every step, your pace, teaching style and of course your amazing work.. thank you for sharing

[@melodyfisher1512]

This has such depth...what a beautiful story it tells. Stunning!

[@IvyNewport]

Many thanks Melody!! So kind!

[@TrueLoveX1027]

Ivy, I am a mixed media watercolor artist that loves incorporating collage into my art. I very recently became aware of encaustic wax as a medium for collage and found this piece and how you interpreted the items that came in the box so incredibly inspiring. You certainly let your creative wings fly and it was such a joy to watch the piece come together. Thank you so much for sharing your process. I took a bunch of notes on items used and also greatly appreciated your list of products used with links to Amazon, etc. This is a breathtaking piece, truly! I think I might would have been very intimidated by the stencil, though I use them in my backgrounds, this doorway was the star, but you let the girl shine through your layers of mediums used. What a wonderful first piece to have watched. Keep letting those wings fly. You have a gift to be sure! xx

[@IvyNewport]

Thank you so much!! That is so kind!!! Deeply appreciated!

[@carlottaholman9481]

I am amazed. From a simple stencil and collaged lady to this. Breathtaking. Thank you some much for sharing.

[@nancysale188]

I have never seen encaustic painting before. So I just picked someone on KZbin to watch~and what a great 'pick' that I choose. You are extremely gifted! Thank you for doing this.

[@IvyNewport]

Thank you very much! I'm so glad you enjoying it!

[@sallyjoligocki5011]

I watched your three videos on this. I just took a class on encaustic collage. I an excited to do more . Thank you for sharing.

[@ShelleeGraham]

Love your beautiful project with encaustic collage, 3-d wings. Your calm, kind spirit is lovely and appreciated.

[@Cyrilmc222004]

Thank you so much Ivy. That is absolutely amazing and incredibly stunning and gorgeous too. You are so very very talented and clever too. Please do more video’s like 👍 this, I thoroughly enjoyed it, every minute of it. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags

[@IvyNewport]

Thank you so much for your sweet comment! I'm sorry I didn't see it until now! You stay safe too! xo.

[@StudioBeeCreations]

Ivy...this is so very beautiful!!....and inspiring...I will say that you are absolutely the FIRST artist I have seen to use acrylics with encaustics...I have always been told it is a no no.....so glad to see your stunning work!!

[@jaynesills1248]

At first I started watching this project and tried to figure out where you were going with it. Well then I kept watching and WOW!!!!! This is the most beautiful and unusual piece of work I have seen in a long long time. Great Job. Thank you for sharing this.

[@ampersandcreative3423]

This was fantastic and my introduction to the idea of using wax - mind blown! Thank you Ivy!

[@Rhonda.D.Wright]

I love this so much. I cannot wait to see how you get the wax to not melt in hot humid weather. I live in Texas and it gets really hot during the summer. I cannot wait to see more of your creations. ♥️

[@kymhouse8158]

You've captured such a beautiful scene, I had no idea where you were going with this & you really have opened my mind to trying & exploring!! Thanks Ivy :-)

[@IvyNewport]

Thanks so much!! I appreciate that!

[@1wordnerd726]

Loved watching this piece come together! You include all the right content which allows straight through viewing with no fluff to fast forward past. Your hands are so beautiful.

[@IvyNewport]

Thank you so much for watching and for your kind comment! Much appreciated!

[@fatima34me]

Again, thank you so much. This piece touched me deeply. I am just coming out of a depressive phase (I suffer from clinical depression) and this is so like I am feeling. Exhausted but triumphant. Leaving the darkness of depression behind and walking back into the light. The wings are not mine; they are my guardian angel’s wings covering and protecting me and helping me leave the ugliness of pain and darkness of depression. A Hug to all those who suffer from depression. 💕💕💕

[@wen_nie]

I am adoring your art and all the ways you express yourself. Your work speaks to me! I’m so happy that I found your videos!!! Now I have a new thing to try! ❤️

[@elainerosenberg3018]

Beautiful piece of art. I truly enjoyed watching all three of your videos. I'm a collage and mixed media artist who is just getting to learn about encaustic. This was an inspiration!

[@desirees5502]

I really loved this, it was great to see the process from start to finish.

[@Michelle-nw7ew]

This one of my favorite mixed media projects I've seen. Please do more videos like this.

[@imax773]

WOW WOW WOW!!! I am blown away by your art and technique! TY for sharing,

[@IvyNewport]

Thank you so much! I'm so happy you enjoyed it!

[@bconsilio3764]

Absolutely gorgeous! I am going to try my hand at this when I get away for a personal retreat later this summer. Thanks for sharing!

[@dreamwoodsbutterfly]

Loved your approach to using the items sent to you. Enjoyed just watching your thought process and how you worked. The encaustic technique was amazing to see. Thanks so much!

[@IvyNewport]

You are so welcome! Thank you very much for commenting and watching!!

[@terrienvey3309]

You created a stunning piece...so much fun to watch you create it and so many helpful tips. Thank you Ivy.

[@christinebarone2151]

Beautiful i love your teaching style. Thank you so much.

[@cindylabare960]

This came out so beautiful! Such a gorgeous piece!

[@LadyLeda2]

WOW!!! You are a very talented artist. Just lovely. Belongs in a museum.

[@bandkh90]

Hi Ivy, loved watching you complete this gorgeous piece. I've collected most of the components to "have a go" at replicating this gorgeous art work (minus the wings, I think). Thanks for the inspiration...you make me feel like I can do it too! So grateful for your generosity.

[@cherylmacedo5521]

Fantastic trilogy 🤍🤍🤍

[@traceynorre9248]

I'm learning so much from you! Thank you so much!

[@IvyNewport]

I'm so glad! Thank you so much for watching!!

[@c.retana-holguin8318]

Thank you! You have a great understanding of various media. I like the way the stencil, collage, paint, and ink fused together and unified the whole piece, especially after applying the wax. I've used encaustic with oil before and you can create exceptional ephemeral work. When I saw the wings, I thought they might not be necessary. Overall, a stunning piece full of atomsphere.

[@IvyNewport]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate your kind comment.

[@BlueLotusLife]

Absolutely loved this and how it all came together!

[@ginettegingras7081]

You are such a beautiful artist and an amazing teacher! Thank you!

[@bellascraftystudio]

Fabulous, i thought you were going to make the wire go on the sides of the door onto of your sqiggles to look like barbed wire but the wings were a neat surprise. thank you Ivy. xx

[@IvyNewport]

Thank you so much Lita! Glad you enjoyed my video!

[@kanamichelle7404]

[@fatima34me]

Thank you so much for sharing, Ivy. It is absolutely stunning!

[@alysonhovanec6314]

Absolutely stunning

[@dinahclark5874]

Thank you SO much for sharing this piece, it is wonderful and speaks on it's own. I look forward to trying to duplicate it I'm new at encaustics but so far love it.

[@MiaCaliendo]

Hi Ivy, I am a closet artsy fartsy want to be artist- Not called or talented in any one medium except photography. Have been collecting for years stuff for collaging and finally ready to dive in...Watching you do your angel Collage- made me feel that this is the best way to do a collage. You made it look so easy. Thanks so much for the inspiration. Many Blessings to you.

[@maryphipps-seward5995]

Such a lovely use of a challenging array of materials! Thank you!

[@Robindalmiras]

This is amazing, Ivy! I absolutely love this and encaustic was technique

[@lkiezl]

Really enjoyed watching you work. Watched all three parts. The piece is quite beautiful. I like to use wax over plaster dipped fabric. Liz

[@Ameylynn]

So beautiful... and you are very inspirational. THakn you for that!

[@IvyNewport]

You are so welcome!

[@bettelovelace4456]

Ivy..I enjoyed every step and learned so much.You are amazing ! Can't wait to see more!!! TFS

[@maxnme21]

[@debrajoyce4083]

I totally enjoyed this. You have inspired me! Thank you!!!

[@maegill5662]

Stunning! Liked it better without the wings though. ☺️

[@jayneelinor]

Love this process and seeing how you integrate the stencil and photo. I have been wanted to try wax for quite a while.

[@IvyNewport]

Thanks so much! Yes go for it! It's an amazing medium!

[@em_and_newt]

Wow amazing Love the wax medium

[@IvyNewport]

Thank you so much!

[@dawnkarasaki6172]

What a wonderful piece,

[@patriciahoffmann1201]

gorgeous ,thank you for sharring

[@petritamallorca]

Very beautiful piece! 👌❤️

[@IvyNewport]

Thank you very much!

[@suejensenart3501]

Hi, Ivy. I wrote after Part 2, but maybe you won't see it, so will add it here. First of all, absolutely beautiful! I probably would have called it quits/done at many points, but you kept going (and using ALL your supplies!)and made it so intriguing! My question is this: I've been painting with encaustics for several years and we've always been told- absolutely no acrylics with wax! Have you worked this out with your clear gesso or is only one or two layers going to be okay? What has been your experience with the wax adhering long term? Thanks and again, just lovely!

[@suejensenart3501]

I'm going to try that! I did notice that you tried to keep the 'glue' underneath and not put so much on top.

[@sherryeverett6985]

I love this...I will now be binge watching you videos!

[@StudioPashnada]

This piece is lovely. I'm wondering how the wax adheres over time since the one big no-no we're taught is not to use encaustic over acrylic since acrylic isn't absorbent. I've done the freezer test on some with even just a minimum of acrylic and see it's ready to pop off. Thanks.

[@nygrl6102]

She never addresses this question no matter how many people ask.

[@donnajoy4559]

Beautiful piece-

[@theartycraftytart7759]

Beautiful, thank you for sharing it. ❤️❤️❤️

[@IvyNewport]

Thank you for watching!!

[@southernbiscuits1275]

Very original, very lovely!!

[@penelopepeeters9057]

😍 stunning

[@thejunkjunque]

Thank you so much.... this series was awesome!

[@marthajimenez9334]

HI Ivy! awesome demostration! where do you get your vintage paper? I find it so hard to rip up books, but I was wondering what alternatives there are to getting all kind of looks on paper?

[@Piaromsart]

Wow how I love this piece!! Never expected that in the beginning ;)

[@MichelleAckerStudios]

what an awesome video, some great editing!

[@yeshuasababu2674]

Beautiful!

[@ggjj999]

Love this!!!!

[@IvyNewport]

Thank you!

[@rowselljenn1]

Beautiful ❣️

[@IvyNewport]

Thank you! So appreciate you watching!

[@monicaeggleton8894]

Is this framed, it hung as is? How do you keep the wax from getting marked up or dust adhering? I truly enjoyed this introduction (for me) to ecustic ?(sorry don’t know how to spell it yet) wax work. Peace.

[@vikkibishop6578]

FABULOUS !!!!! :-) Thank You

[@nancinegaardstudio]

Great videos, I LOVE LOVE this work of art! (Is it for sale?)

[@libragirl4471]

wish you could still see her arm leaning against the doorway, but you made beautiful use of the wire, you are a brilliant artist

[@catseyes11]

I thought the same thing, my brain kept wanting the wings to go the other way for that reason but the piece is gorgeous!

[@reeractivist7561]

Such a beautiful piece can't be finished with that wire attachment.

[@HeatherWrightArt]

I love everything but the wings, they are such a distraction from the rest of the piece. Also, having 2 kids and a husband that like to touch every piece of art I create, I would be afraid to have anything sticking out from my work! But really, a beautiful piece!

[@kathleenstrode455]

So Mega Cool!!!

[@ibkristykat]

Other craft supplies to use in lieu of metallic lustre is Perfect Pearls or PearlEx

[@chloemauro-razafimanantsoa6657]

ibkristykat I agree, they are great to use. What worries me here is that the shimmering paste is made for furniture and Ivy doesn’t mention the ingredients or having looked at the ingredients being safe to use with your finger. Always check whether a product is safe if it comes on contact with skin, or whether you should use different mass with various powders and liquids. Health and safety is primordial.

[@reeractivist7561]

It may have been better to secure the wings with some small bit of hardware and then wax over the point of attachment.

[@BigMoepar]

How do you sign a piece once it's done

[@Manda11.11]

I love your videos xoxoxoxo

[@kokoslores9666]

Well done! Think the lady looked more delicate without the wings though.

[@patriciahoffmann1201]

the link from the stamp dont work dear ?

[@lixuca52]

I like

[@IvyNewport]

Thank you!!

[@creativechaos953]

That is so great!!! Like for the video and subscribe)))

[@reeractivist7561]

A heavy duty staple would have worked nicely. The wings are too unstable. Not secure in the attachment.

[@jilliancheshire2530]

As a suggestion, maybe have the wings without paper, so we could see the gorgeous arm . I really enjoyed watching this process, thank you

[@barbarasalmi3103]

Oh, Ivy I so enjoyed watching your piece come alive until you added the wings. That was overkill for me. Other than that it was stunning!
