I took a few encaustic classes earlier this year and fell in love with the medium. Unfortunately, it does require a little more time, and set up, than some mediums so I haven’t played with wax as much as I would like.
But the other day, I created this is 8” by 10” piece based on Jane Davies class Sketchbook Scribbles, I collaged newspaper to a wood board for the base then I covered the background with acrylic paint, oil pastels and encaustic wax medium….resulting in this!
For the next piece, I have a tissue paper background and acrylic paint and ink for the design…..no encaustic wax involved….yet!
I’m trying to put together a few pieces for a show in August…..this is a start but I’m still shooting for a more, especially, more encaustics.

You are off to a great start for your art show!!! I love your freedom in what you do...it is so alluring to me!
Terrific journal pages and encaustic! love the colors on the blue one...
Color me confused. For some reason I thought you had to use oil paint with encaustics, not acrylic. Does the oil pastel take the place of oil paint?
I think these are terrific pieces you have started for your show. I really love them both!!
Wonderful pieces!
Fabulous art pieces!. I haven't tried encaustic yet, someday. I LOVE the fuzzy look of the background colors. Amazing work. Good luck with the show :). Hugs.
