Smooth

Smooth: How to create Glassy Encaustic Surfaces

 

Who doesn't love the textural effects of encaustic? But the perfectly smooth translucence of a glassy wax surface is a beautiful sight to behold - and challenging to achieve!

 

Watch, as Shary demonstrates how a thin, painted or poured white surface on wood creates an open invitation to fluid media like alcohol inks. 

 

See how a slender layer of encaustic medium imparts a clear, dreamy magnificence to photographs.  Discover how to bury mixed media or 3D elements cleanly and invitingly in a milky bed of wax. Tips for achieving large smooth surfaces will be discussed.
