How did you print on tissue paper? What type of printer do you have? Even with a carrier sheet , I have not been successful! I really love this piece!

[@ArtGeekTeaching]

Hi Jolene! I have found that a plain jane desktop office printer works best. My photo printer works ok too but I feel it is quicker and less hassle with the cheapo epson office printer. I also have a brother printer that works well. I use a pieces of copy paper for a carrier sheet and tape all four sides.

Can you describe what you used for the glittery reflective effect toward the end? Thank you. Wonderful demo and art piece.

[@ArtGeekTeaching]

@user-uk4fh9kx1e I am using Copper mica powder. Mica powders that are commonly used for epoxy resin. I have used a variety of brands in my work pouring countertops and have not found much difference in quality between brands. Here is an affiliate link to Amazon for Meyspring micas. amzn.to/3wAtnC6 Thank-you for taking the time to comment.

Thank you! Loved this video.

[@lynnesachs2330]

This is good. Please tell me what kind of brayer’s are you using and where did you get it? Thank you.

[@ArtGeekTeaching]

Hi Lynne! These are rollers that are used for installing sound deadening matt in vehicles. Here is an affiliate link. They are inexpensive and work great for mark making. Thank-you for your comment. amzn.to/4cBFeAm

Nice work! Thank you for sharing your technique! Do you find that the straight cut edges of the tissue work better than having torn, rougher edges? I like to blend my tissue edges out and have them not show so much. Not sure which is best for that.

[@ArtGeekTeaching]

Hi Christi! I personally think that a fine deckle edge works the best for me in terms of blending without showing as much. I have a tool for tearing a deckle edge but a ruler works well for fine edge by just pulling the paper at a 45 degree angle toward you. Thank-you for taking the time to post.

[@lynnesachs2330]

Can I ask you do you do nothing else but digital and transfers I’m just curious

[@ArtGeekTeaching]

Hi Lynne, I think the real question you want to ask is can you draw? The answer is yes but does it really matter? NO. ANYONE can learn to draw extremely well if they put the time and effort into it. Having said that you don't need incredible drawing skills to be an amazing artist. In my opinion being able to draw well is just another skill to learn and grow at. I know a huge number of successful artisan that dont have great drafting skills. I work in many different mediums. Charcoal and graphite are definitely not my favorite mediums as I am more of a painter. So, drawing for me is not where I spent most of my time or effort. I have no desire to crank out hyper realistic pieces..I am too slow and I just dont enjoy it as much as many other mediums I have the opportunity to work with. Most mediums are like languages, the more you work with them the more proficient you become AND when you stop working with them, that skill level you achieved will be dialed back from non-usage. I am an artist, a creator, I have to create. Not so I can sell anything, or even create anything specific but rather just to create, to play, adventure, learn, and to fail. It really is that simple. I work with the areas that I enjoy at that particular season in my life and leave the rest until a different season when I am called in that direction. Simple really. I am not trying to become the best artist on the planet, the nation or even my town. The focus is on becoming the best creator I can personally be on any given day. That looks different for everyone and looks different for me everyday. Thank you for takin time to share your thoughts. Have a blast creating!

[@prontiplarson1833]

Should the completed piece of artwork be displayed in a cool environment or climate controlled environment?

[@ArtGeekTeaching]

Hi Pronto. Thank-you for taking the time to post. Encaustic is beeswax and damar resin so it is pretty hardy. Like all pieces of fine art though one would want to avoid direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, high temperatures, as in a hot car, or direct heat. For those that live in a hot environment care should be taken on placement. The wax will soften at 100 degrees F making it more susceptible to damage if being handled at that point. Having said that, the Romano-Egyptian Fayum mummy portraits from Egypt are from around 100-300 AD.

[@suzannehewett2688]

can you use a heat gun instead of a torch?

[@ArtGeekTeaching]

Hi Suzanne-yes you can use a heat gun just as effectively. It moves things around a bit more is all

[@KazRynne]

What is the recipe for your encaustic medium pls?

[@ArtGeekTeaching]

I am currently using encaustic medium that is pre-made.

[@lynnesachs2330]

I like you but why would you sign it when youREALLY CHEATED. YUP THATS WHAT I THINK.. TRYNIT FREE HAND.. GO FOR IT,

[@ArtGeekTeaching]

Heeeey Lynne! Thank you for sharing your perspective! The tool boxes of many professional artists encompasses a wide range of techniques and mediums, each with its own merits. I love freehand drawing and while one doesn't have to have great drawing skills to be an accomplished artist, I personally believe that it helps me to communicate more accurately. The method I demonstrated here is a recognized and respected mixed media technique used by many professional artists. It is one method of using a tissue paper print. One could use an original drawn on tissue paper or teabag paper just as easily. Growing artists appreciate the variety of artistic approaches and understand that skill and creativity can be expressed in many forms, not just freehand. Keep exploring and learning!"
