Thank you so much! I truly appreciate your comment.

Thanks Gil! If you need refreshing give me a call. I have private zoom or FaceTime sessions available. Shellac is a wonderful addition to add depth. Take care!

When I want my images to stay true to color, allowing the whites to retain their whiteness and such, I'll use encaustic gesso as a base. Sometimes I don't use gesso and enjoy the earthy, warm, organic look of the birch wood tone that appears through the specific paper I've used with an image. If you'd like to see side/side images of my paintings with and without gesso, we can continue the conversation via my website/email/etc. Thank you for your interest in my video and process.

Thank you for watching! It’s a steamless iron. You can buy these on Amazon. I like the Black+Decker. It must have a temperature control, which most have. Best of luck and feel free to contact me via my website if you’d like a private lesson. Here’s the iron : BLACK+DECKER Classic Steam Iron, F67E,White/Black,10.5" x 16.3" x 6.6" www.amazon.com/dp/B001RJTQ8U/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_1QNCX332PN56CNW6G15B

Yes, I glued the photo to the panel with Yes Paste, allowed it to adhere for 24 hours, weighted down. I use matte photographic prints so that the wax will fuse to the paper and panel beneath. Does this help? Thank you!

@@PennyTreeseFineArtist Yes, thank you. I’d love to see the next step/finished piece...

@@chromefree I haven’t created videos in awhile. I’d love for you to email me and I’ll send close-up photos in that manner. I appreciate your interest! Pls email via my website www.pennytreese.com

I like the cloudy effect on some pieces. Others, I achieve a clear, translucent and almost transparent look when the wax is applied in a thin coat then ironed to fuse. Thank you for replying! ☺️

Hi! Let’s chat via email. Mine is pennytreese@comcast.net. Lots of info to share!

Ink jet or matte paper which absorbs the wax perfectly. You can use inexpensive ink jet copy paper and although the prints look dull, once the wax fuses into the print the colors become beautifully saturated. Thank you for watching! I provide FaceTime private lessons if you get the basic supplies and walk you through the encaustic process as you interact live.

Wait at least a day after the wax has hardened, then rub it lightly with a soft cotton cloth, such as an old T shirt, to eliminate the cloudiness.

I agree, to use a soft cloth the next day, which helps remove impurities from the wax, rising to the surface. I have achieved a clear effect with one coat of wax. But it is not clear and shiny like resin. Yes, that is the beauty of encaustic and using wax, for an ethereal, soft, sometimes cloudy effect. Natural, not synthetic

@Johnathan Jedidiah Instablaster ;)

Thank you for watching and supporting artists 🙏🏼

I’m sorry I didn’t see your comment. I learned from 2 encaustic masters that damar was not necessary and in my findings over the past 15 years, my ironed encaustic pieces on panel and watercolor paper have stayed true to color and have not cracked. The purges using damar or carnauba have all discolored and cracked. I hope this helps☺️

@@PennyTreeseFineArtist tell your 2 encaustic masters, damar is part of the medium, damar works like a binder and make strong the medium, with out the damar cristal, the bees wax is soft, and with the time, start to break a part, for sure if you use that to add just to the picture surface, will not a really real example what encaustic Art work means..

@@caligiuridesign thank you for your opinion and advice. I'd like to see your encaustic work. I'm sure it's lovely. Good luck to you!
