Hello Shari, this is a great help! you mentioned a couple of mistakes I make - and now I have the solution. (Especially the cooling time between layers -I'm guilty here) The different movements for different layers was eye-opening! Getting those first layers absolutely flat saves a myriad of mistakes and clean up later, it far easier than rushing and then feeling like need to scrape. thanks Again, Love all your video's, great info and Ive learned so much already from you!

Oops, wasn't clear. The only broken links are the first link you provided (blog post link in 2nd paragraph), and the links in the 3rd and 4th paragraph. That's all. Thanks again!

I’m using a rustic piece of wood that has varied heights and clear melted beeswax. I followed your directions but the wax seems to be separating into hills and valleys which I assume has to do with the wood grain. Any recommendations on how to fix this? Do I need to scrape it down? These hills and valleys arent noticeable until I heat it and the valleys liquify much faster than the hills. I’ve tried adding more wax to the valley areas but when heating the wax seems to travel to the hills which doesn’t make sense to me

Wonderful video, this is my third time watching, trying to remember all the details. Can you please let me know what kind of brush do you use and where to get it? Thank you

Are these all layers white encaustic gesso or just white paint h medium?

@lindapedelty2223 3 жыл бұрын

Such a helpful video especially reminding us that your cooling down quite a bit between those last few layers. Can you clarify, are you over fusing each and every layer to liquid? Or just the first few? It’s a bit hard to tell from this particular camera angle. Thanks! Your videos are so helpful. :-)

Hi Linda ! I fuse all of my base layers flat and the was is liquid , and then fuse the rest of the layers of the painting just until the wax comes to a glisten or shine :)

Shari, thank you. You are so talented. I'm a beginner, too, I have seen your Wax on Wednesdays videos so I did have some sense of your process. Just two things: 1) is the first white layer you put down encaustic gesso? Are you supposed to start with encaustic gesso? and 2) With the exception of your Patreon link that you listed in your comments, all the other links you listed are broken; you get the 404 error code. Could you fix them? Many thanks!

Hi Shari! Just started playing around with encaustic so I subscribed to your channel and love all your videos. I was wondering if you could give this NYC apartment dweller a little info on what you are using as a work board/painting surface board underneath while you create? With limited space in my apt I have to use my kitchen table so I’m looking for something that I can place on top that’s durable and then remove. I’m not sure what it would be called so I’m having trouble finding what I’m looking for; the closest I’ve come to is a drawing board but that’s not right either. Thanks for any advice!

Hi Jane and Welcome to Wax on Wednesdays ! I use a big ceramic floor tiles (17.5x 17.5 in each ) underneath that you can get from any home improvement store ( Lowes , Home Depot) for just a couple of dollars. when I am doing a larger piece I put several of these tiles together on my worktable . They are a safer surface for fusing , you can make the surface as big as you need, and scrape the wax back off them with a scraping tool . I hope this helps , and have lots of fun !

@@ShariReplogle Yes that helps a lot, thank you Shari!! I’ll pick a few of those tiles up and keep watching your channel!
