You can use cold wax over your watercolors Dorland's Wax Medium or Gambling cold wax medium. You can get it at artist supplies store and I think Amazon. Makes a good finish for your paintings and you don't have to use heat
@@suemitchell3064 Yes, Thanks Sue cold wax does give a great look too ! They both will produce a slightly different finish. The one difference and advantage to using encaustic I would say is the ability to buff it to a really high shine which is what I do with mine. If you desire a soft luster or matte finish then both work Weil.
Shari - this is just beautiful ! Thank you so much for sharing your process . I just adore ALL your encaustic paintings - and this one - incorporating watercolour - is just so soft and dreamy . Kind regards - Judi - Australia

I like to use bfk rives for the same technique, I know it’s a print making paper but it works for me.
That is awesome Saintmoz I will have to try that thanks for sharing !
do you seal the watercolor painting before adding encaustic
Hi Gwen encaustic requires an absorbent surface so it is applied directly to the watercolor and absorbed into the paper.
