Stunning!! So beautiful and what a great homage to the beauty of the Byzantine era. Thank you!

[@LeslieGiuliani]

Thanks SO much!!! I studied Byzantine Icon Painting and I am a traditional gilder. That was definitely my inspiration.

Very unique! Great idea and beautiful effect :). Did you keep your palette at your normal working temp or a wee bit cooler?

[@LeslieGiuliani]

The usual 200 degrees for this demo. ☺️

Oh it’s marcia Leslie❗️

What type of varnish do you use? It's a question, thank you for your video and your answer. 😇🥰

[@lesliegiuliani6160]

No varnish. Just shiny paint. Encaustic does not need varnish. You can buff it to a shine with a soft cloth after it hardens. 😊

@@lesliegiuliani6160 🥰😇Thank you for sharing!

[@deblockrol]

lovely effect- you do not heat the encaustic paints? do you seal them?

[@LeslieGiuliani]

I am working directly on a heated palette which creates constant fusing. No need to seal.
