Eye On The Prize (Hand-Pulled Collagraph and Encaustic Painting)
18” x 24” Cats and their curiosity! It will get the best of them, but is always entertaining!
IF SHIPPING, PLEASE CHOOSE ‘ENCAUSTICS OVER $500 FLAT RATE’
The cat and fish are hand pulled collagraphs printed on Japanese rice paper using Akua Inks and then mounted onto the birch panel and embellished with a meadow and water painted with encaustic paints.
ENCAUSTIC is a Greek word meaning “to heat or burn in” (enkaustikos). Encaustic consists of natural bees wax and dammar resin (crystallized tree sap). I use R&F wax medium, as well as their pigment wax blocks and pigment sticks. Using a selection of brushes, carving tool and a heated stylus, I “paint” with the hot wax.
All my encaustics are painted onto high quality birch panels and are ready to be hung as is with natural wood sides exposed. You may also frame them. Treat an encaustic painting as you would any fine art. Use care hanging, transporting or storing a painting. Consistent Temperature – Hang and store at normal room temperatures. Avoid direct sunlight, freezing and extremely hot temperatures; wax will melt at 150°F / 65°C.
