on paper encaustic is a collection of approaches to use of heat as a solvent for wax in artwork encaustic art is about using molten wax as a creative medium electricity means that temperature controlled tools enable far easier working of the wax paint medium than that which our ancestors had to master the genre of encaustic arts can span all ability levels from complete beginner through the crafts hobby arts on into the finest of fine arts generally the encaustic art product line uses heated tools to melt apply the wax block colours onto card or other surfaces thin application means a rigid support is generally not necessary fusing occurs during the application process there are starter sets for working with iron and wax encaustic com has a number of areas facilities to help you understand the encaustic medium in its many forms there are videos step by step methods for simpler work the waxes in the encaustic art range are formulated with waxes and pigments only do not contain resins of any type resin wax formulations often contain 85 beeswax 15 damar resin wax is often applied as hot wax molten with cold tools usually brushes onto a rigid surface it needs fusing with a heat source to meld the layers of applied wax together properly resin wax information in the archive a wide range of possibilities exist within the genre of encaustic arts and it would be both limiting and misleading to state any particular formulation as the encaustic paint we generally promote ways of using an encaustic wax formulation that does not contain resins encaustic art the original products were begun by michael bossom in the late 1980 s with refreshed packaging and product expansion in 2017 2018 for information about other approaches look in the archive sections many creative possibilities are offered by the use of heat an invisible force to alter the structure of cold wax solid into one of a liquid wax molten nothing is lost only temporarily relaxed into a workable state once the heat is removed then the encaustic wax returns to a solid state and remains like that unless reheated it s a magical experience and with more practice can be extremely rewarding to explore applying molten wax colours with the iron can spread tool and fuse a single layer creation beautifully starting encaustic art is as simple as deciding to start and then getting hold of the iron the wax colours some cards and a place to work even your very first card experiment could be something that you cannot bear to part with the starter set is a lovely box in which there is a painting iron 16 wax colours a6 a5 white cards a metal scribing tool and an introduction in 5 languages english dutch french german spanish this is a beautiful gift for anyone who is remotely interested in creative activity no previous painting skills required there are 2 main approaches to encaustic work with wax colours hot tools melt the cold wax solid apply and tool the wax colours and fuse them all in one go it is a single layer process where the wax colours are fused and applied with the same stroke cold tools take wax paint from pre melted containers and apply them usually to rigid surfaces fusing is then necessary to meld the layers applied into one cohesive piece of work encaustic to burn in is a fascinating and versatile genre it refers to use of beeswax as a constituent of a painting process involving melting of the wax at some stage the nature and variety of waxes make this medium a truly great and creative one brochure not in uk find all national eao
