Fascinating Claude! At once it appears like a lot of steps, yet it tells me you value the finished product. Thank you for sharing. I'll definitely be experimenting now.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I am definitely going to be doing this in the future as I do love the finish that encaustics give and this is one way to achieve it without the fuss.
Thank you so much for this and your previous videos. I'm just starting to play with acrylic painting on paper and mounting on a wood panel. The detailed explanation and demonstration are invaluable.
Thank you Candice! I'm glad you found my video useful. If you want to get more tips and information you can visit my blog or subscribe to my newsletter at ClaudeLarsonArt.com.
Thank you so much for these videos! I have a question though, I work with metallics a lot and I don't know what to coat them with. I don't want them to be super glossy either. Do you think the mixture of matte medium and gloss would work?
Could you use a cold wax finish on an acrylic painting done on a canvas? I’m thinking the wood is stable but a canvas has slight flexibility. So has anyone tried it? Maybe with these seven layers it might work?
Brilliant video Thankyou!
Awesome! Thanks for the detailed explanation and the faux encaustic deserves a video of its own!
Thanks for the suggestion!
Thanks Claude, you've answered questions I've had for a long time
My pleasure. Happy to help. 🙂

Awesome.

Great advice. Thank you.
I'm glad you found it useful.
Thank you for this information. Great video. Will a hot climate affect a 'cold wax' finish? I live in Texas.
You would have to read the can. of cold wax for high and low temperature ranges. But, my work has not had any issues here in humid New Jersey.
Great tips thanks so much!
My pleasure!

Try it and see if you like the results - I agree metallic and gloss medium are a lot of shine.

I have done the seven layers on canvas and paper, but not on canvas. I am not sure the cold wax would hold up with the flexible surface.
