Wax on Wednesdays Encaustic Painting Let's Try it ! Technique with Masking Fluid

[@HeyRaeSunnyDay]

OOOOH! I am so happy to have found your channel, I'm dying to learn encaustics, new sub here!

[@tairad687]

She's awesome. 😍

[@princesskaguya2000]

These are incredible! I just started olaying with encaustic and its amazing to see how you make it come alive

[@bigbalok]

Wow! Nice work there, Lady....#Envy

[@ShariReplogle]

Thank you Yul !

[@aliakealoha268]

I'm a big fan of rice and mulberry papers. Can't wait to try this! Thanks!

[@ShariReplogle]

Awesome Alia ! You will have a lot of fun with this :)

[@TrueLoveX1027]

Enjoy it? I absolutely LOVED your experimentation! The use of light and darks along with texture are without question my favorite part of art. I thought the use of the Fineliner Masking Fluid was brilliant and wishing I had thought of it, as I started as a watercolor artist. Anyway... I completely agree about the rice paper pieces being the favorites! A little tip just in case you didn't know, they do make a little square shaped masking fluid eraser that makes removing the glue residue quite easy. Not sure it would work on the rice paper after the heat of the wax seemingly bonded the masking fluid to it, but wanted to at least mention the product for possible future uses. Thank you Shari! You have made my rather recent foray into encaustic the most exciting process with all of your wonderfully creative "Wax on Wednesdays!" I'm completely addicted to this medium and you have definitely made the process so much more enjoyable with all of your shared creativity! xxx

What a great video highlighting how we can just play and experiment, and I loved how that frustrating piece turned in to a favourite! Thank you, Shari!

[@ShariReplogle]

Thanks Micki ! That happens a lot . I think the key is to just keep going and paint until you're happy !

[@franmoran4734]

Shari, You are such an inspiration..I discovered encaustics last year and am hooked..Never thought of painting on paper ..LOVE these.

[@ShariReplogle]

Hi Fran ! That is Awesome, with all of the techniques that are possible it is very easy to get addicted too. I hope you give the encaustic and paper a go !

[@edyerae1000]

Hi Shari, I just love watching your quick demos. They are so informative, inspiring well explained and must mention the wonderful music that comes along. Many thanks.

[@ShariReplogle]

Thank so very much Edith Rae !

[@annemcdonald5602]

Thank you so much for sharing these fabulous ideas that have given me new options to try!!

[@AnneGoggansQHHT]

As a watercolor artist, I can attest that masking fluid can be the Bain of existence if you don’t know all of its quirks. Never apply heat, always use on a sized paper only, don’t leave more than a day or so. With that said, it came out lovely 🌷

[@doreenallen1797]

Fantastic technique.... love it!

[@DreamArtst]

This was a great video and all the experiments were Amazzzzzzzzzzzzzzing. I truly come away from your videos so inspired and ready to go, but, then the procrastinate devil hits me and I don't get it done........This time, I will try this out!!!! Thank you Shari!!

[@ShariReplogle]

Oh I hope you do , just jump in and go ! Thanks Dreamartst:)

[@jacquelinedunford2078]

I love those happy accidents! Beautiful!

[@suzanplatzer5416]

[@alrenefischer4481]

[@StudioBeeCreations]

Shari!!!!....ANOTHER stinkin' awesome WOW!!!!....you rock!!!

[@ShariReplogle]

Awe, Thanks Debbie , hope you have fun with it !

[@laceice]

Loved it! Sets my mind a-whirling!

[@ShariReplogle]

I hope you give it a go Laceice !

[@ShariReplogle]

Thanks Laceice :) I hope you give these a go !

[@chrisrogers1327]

Its always such a pleasure seeing your creative process! L😍Ve it! -Should you continue using masking fluid: A rubber cement pick-up eraser does wonders to help pull up that tricky &sticky masking fluid. Which helps lessen the smear factor from using your fingers, or potentially ripping/tearing the paper delicate paper underneath.

[@ShariReplogle]

Thank you Chris ! And, thanks so much for the tip I will definitely try that :) The ones that spent the most time being painted directly on the hotplate the fluid is solidly baked onto ( or into )the paper , but that would be great on the all of the rest of them !

[@Mamsab9]

A super techniqe... thank you so much for this good idea!

[@ShariReplogle]

Thank you Mamsab9 :)

[@TheAwakeningangel]

This turned out Fab, love it. hugs Dede xx

[@ShariReplogle]

Thanks so much Dede ! xoxo

[@ShariReplogle]

Thanks Dede! xoxo

[@MargoDuke1944]

oh just found you and loving your work! I love rice paper and mulberry paper so can't wait to try these experiments! Are there any other type of things to use on paper to provide interesting texture? Thank you so very much - just began my encaustic journey a few weeks ago so I am eager to explore all possibilities - I also want to use my hand dyed and eco printed silks (tried a little but not quite there yet)

[@barbarajane543]

Beautiful pieces! Did you put the rice paper with the masking fluid face down on the hot palette?? Or right side up...thank you :)

[@joytaves644]

I am new to your channel and encaustic. I absolutely love your videos and your music. Can you share a playlist?

[@ShariReplogle]

Thank you Joy , I am so glad that you are enjoying Wax on Wednesdays series and getting in to the wonderful world of painting with encaustic ! I will look into doing that , the music is a paid subscription for KZbinrs that I pay a fee for monthly.

[@TeresaMArsenault]

What a cool technique, which I never would have thought of; so creative. Just wondering what you do with the papers after.

[@luciedurand3883]

Hello ! So interesting... What is the heated palette you use ?

[@Spellbound987]

They came out amazing and a great study too, finding out what works and what doesnt. So what do you do with these wonderful sheets? Do you rip them up to include in another encaustic artpiece or just enjoy them as is? I dont think i could rip them up, id be heartbroken! Lol. XTibbyX

[@ShariReplogle]

Thank you ! There are so many things you can do with these wonderful encaustic sheets ! You can frame them like I did with the ones from last week's video , mount them on board , or yes put them in a journal or collage :)

[@melissalloyd8238]

Does it have to be pan pastels? Do you think soft pastels would work? I don't have pan pastels and they're very expensive where I live.

[@StudioPashnada]

Love these. What's that black glob you use?

[@joyamuedo5820]

Ok dang it! I'm going to have to have one of those heated palettes! I'm scheming on how I could make one with a cookie sheet or thin sheet of stainless steel. I'm sure they're pricey. Wishing for a play date with you!!!

[@ShariReplogle]

HAHA Joy I hope you give this a go ! They have an anodized aluminum plate you can put right over your griddle that Encaustikos makes . That is the one I work with in "Encausticology Paper Journey" online Workshop and it works great :)

[@amandavhb1630]

Shari thanks so much for sharing! can you suggest a rice paper brand? There are so many out there on Amazon I am not sure what's best. Thank you!

[@ShariReplogle]

Hi Amanda , Yes ! I have a full list of supplies for you that I used this week on the blog post including the paper at: playswithpaper.blogspot.com/2017/05/wax-on-wednesdays-lets-try-it-study.html Also, If you would like to have a LOT more encaustic and paper projects where I go over in depth step by step all sorts of rice papers and other papers that are great for use with encaustic you can join "Ecncausticology Paper Journey Online Workshop" at any time with forever access :)

[@Pottymoon]

Ps I've tried a number of different surfaces but still it blobs and beads. How do you get your clean lines???

[@SynnJynn]

Lol, I forgot I had pan pastels! Thanks for the reminder! ^¬^

[@ПолинаТрофимова-м4р]

Здорово! Чем вы делали круги, которые потом убрали. Стерли.

[@mimilister729]

What is the music? I love it!

[@Pottymoon]

Urgent question Shari! How do you stop this stuff from blobbing in beads??

[@ShariReplogle]

What brand are you using and does it have a fine tip applicator ? I don't put very much pressure on the bottle and I keep the applicator slightly touching the paper in steady strokes . If I stopped or hesitated it might get slightly thicker in that area .

[@Pottymoon]

Lovely, Shari, as always! And thank you for some decent music (so many vids on KZbin are sooo monotonous and repetitive I have to mute!!) x

[@GrammyTweety]

Does it have to be rice paper, at least to practice. I've seen it on wood as well.

[@ShariReplogle]

Hi Sharon , Most of my encaustic paintings are done on wood, but the paper studies are to show the diversity of encaustic and all that you can do with it :)

[@GrammyTweety]

Thank you! I have some supplies but haven't tried yet. I have lots of extra card stock. You are excellent teacher!

[@michelleosborne8951]

Are the R&F paint sticks wax or oil?

[@ShariReplogle]

Hi Michelle , The R and F paint sticks or "pigment sticks " are oil paint in a stick form

[@rachelnelson3598]

What is the other material you are using in the tins?

[@ShariReplogle]

Hi Rachel . I think you may be referring to the Pan pastels. I do have all of the supplies I used this week on the blog post for this video at www.playswithpaper.blogspot.com :)

[@pandaantonline390]

Just wanted to correct an eye glaring typo, waist=waste at 7:22-7:-25. Great video though

[@ShariReplogle]

Thanks Panda Ant ! yes sorry about that :)

[@leigh-annh2544]

Inspiring.

[@GrammyTweety]

Thanks for the email!

[@gop108]

Looks totally difficult I will never try this
