Photo transfer on encaustic wax
Everybody loves photo transfer - both to do it, and to see it! But a photo transfer done on encaustic is so much easier than a photo transfer done using acrylic! Check out this little demo video and see how you can even do a photo transfer on paper! This is an excerpt from my latest class on Encaustic art journalling.

can i ask which lutrador you are using here? i love the look!
Hi JT There are three thicknesses of lutradur and I use them all from the very thin to the thickest versions. You can often find lutradur in the interfacing section of a fabric store.

Hello,what is the white metarial (paint) you use ?
Hi there, thanks for your interest. It is encaustic Wax. It’s a wonderful medium to work with. If you’re interested in learning more, I offer many online classes: www.sharybartlett.com/courses Let me know if you have any questions
@@SharyBartlett Thank you very much for your reply. I will definitely look into it. 🙏🏼🌺
You introduced me to encaustic when I took a few of your classes in adult education when I lived in Vancouver almost 15 years ago. I was a total beginner, with no confidence that I could do anything. But you helped me become a process person, not a product person, and I still go into my little studio area almost every day to create. You taught so many great techniques, many of which I still use; but my absolute favorite is encaustic. I’m so glad I found this video so I could thank you from the bottom of my waxy little heart.😁❤️💛💙
Hi Susan, So lovely to hear from you. I remember you well and especially your enthusiasm and creative talent. I love your comment about being a process person. Still holds true for me! I'm glad it spoke to you. Just so you know I have created a new studio space in Vancouver Canada to teach encaustic and mixed media - and it is amazing. Starting next week I'm teaching there,. my first in person classes since Covid. Just wanted to make sure you are still on my mailing list and know about the classes. Come join me! sharybartlett.newzenler.com/in-person Cheers, Shary

Thank you 🤗 I am very lucky and plan to share it with all my students.

Ok great.I signed up for it.
Hi Shari please send me the link again for the class Thanks🌻
Hi never mind. I did sign up for this class/ classes. Since I only know your teaching style I’m sure you wouldn’t have opt in if you did not like the other instructors that’s exactly what I get from your personality. Also, I did not know that my charge for the classes in Ireland is that true? I need to make sure in case this isn’t a correct charge. Please get back soon and let me know because my bank informed me of paying in Ireland and I don’t think you live in Ireland ?
Hi Lynn The link for my online and in-person classes is: sharybartlett.newzenler.com/courses The link for the online year-long encaustic Masterclass Painting with Fire is: bit.ly/PWF4-MASTERCLASS (The early bird price for PWF ends this Tuesday btw. ) Pls let me know if you have questions. Shary.
This is not correct . This says ESSENCE OF MULRANNY . This just doesn’t seem correct is it
Hi Lynn Yes no worries. Essence of Mulranny Painting with Fire is based in Ireland. It’s a fab program. You will love it.
Hi Lynn. Glad you are better and going travelling. Yes I know Teresa’s work. Thx for reaching out
Hello long time.. question is the class for $ 249.00. I need to know if it is life time? I won’t be available to watch week by week as I’m going to be traveling so if it is not lifetime then it isn’t for me although I would’ve liked to of taken it but it’s not gonna work out if it’s not lifetime please get back. Thanks.🌻
Hi Lynn. Nice to hear from you ❤. Yes it’s for a lifetime! Check it out! Let me know if you have questions 😊bit.ly/PWF4-MASTERCLASS
Thanks I am sure you know who teresa Sterling is being a teacher in encaustic? She now is teaching classes. But it just her. I’d rather learn more from you and others. Plus it’s life time and I am closing up my wax for a while . Going traveling to NC. Can’t take it with too much stuff I have now. I do want to show you that I am getting better.
@@lynnesachs2330great you are better and travelling. Yes. I know Theresa’s work. Cheers. 😊
Shes letting the die bleed into the fabric. I have ruined some cool shirts using the hose.
Luv the hydrangeas.
Thanks Vikki. I love this flower so much.
So you put the encaustic over your photos?
I sure do. It looks so dreamy and it’s archival.
I don't understand the irises on the wax surface.
The irises are made of encaustic as well. the accretion is the background substrate for them..
I primed the base of a cradled panel with white and caustic wax, then painted with alcohol inks on that smooth surface, and then I’m fusing the alcohol inks. If you’re interested in learning more check out this link, and I have a whole course on this! Cheers. sharybartlett.newzenler.com/courses/flowing-light
Is everything you're painting on Alcohol ink? Or is some wax based paints?
An absolutely gorgeous voice to accompany the creation of such beautiful works of art. Thank you for sharing. ✨
Thank you so much, Miss starlight! I'm glad you enjoyed it, and… I love your name.
Hello. Do you offer this technique in an online course?
Hi there, I don't offer exactly this technique, but you may be interested in either the course called, Smooth or the course called Flowing Light. Smooth is about pouring smooth surfaces. Very similar to this technique in the video, except that this technique involves many colors, so once you've poured the mini colours on your surface, it's just a matter of fusing them together with a heat gun. The course that is called flowing light: is about using alcohol and India inks, which also create a wonderful, flowing design and surface. Check out the two videos here that outline the course content and let me know if you have any more questions. Thanks for your interest. sharybartlett.newzenler.com Shary
So very cool
Thank you
This is great! Thanks so much!
Thanks, Marilyn. Feel free to join my newsletter as I will be offering classes online on this topic if you're interested. www.sharybartlett.com/contact. Cheers.
Hi like your style. If your just starting out would your classes be overwhelming?
Thanks Lynne, I am so honoured that you like my style! Thanks for writing. Beginning encaustic painting involves quite a few technical points of information and practice, so I would suggest that you consider learning some of the basics before taking on specific applications. What I would suggest, is that you might like to sign up for the year-long course called Painting with Fire. It’s a wonderful online course taught by 26 of the world’s top Encaustic instructors. I teach classes as part of this international program and it includes beginners classes, weekly online classes, and a wonderful Facebook group. It’s very affordable at 289 USD per year. The year has already begun but all of the classes are available online for a lifetime. Here is the link and you might want to look at it. Let me know if you have any further questions. www.e-junkie.com/ecom/gb.php?ii=1772049&cl=320457&c=ib&aff=377004 You will love encaustic ! It is, a wonderful medium to work with. Cheers.
Lovely! Can you please describe how the watercolour look was achieved with wax?
sure! I painted combination of blues and oranges using encaustic wax on a wooden substrate and fused the wax to melting point, but not overfused. Are you familiar with Encaustic? If so, this should make sense, if you're not familiar with Encaustic, I'd be happy to Are you familiar with Encaustic? If so, this should make sense, if you're not familiar with Encaustic, I'd be happy to point out where you can learn more.
@@SharyBartlett thanks for your response! Yes, I’m familiar with encaustic, with a little experience. Love it. This piece is so smoothly blended but the colours remained independent… a product of using the torch instead of the heat gun perhaps?
@@JAP2theP wonderful to know. Don't you love Encaustic? Glad you're familiar with it because it's a bit complicated to answer in a quick response :-) yes, I did use the torch, however, I'm equally fond of a heat gun. I'm pretty sure that I tilted the painting as it was still Molten for dramatic effect. Hope that helps. Cheers.
Thanks for your time 👍🙇♀️…. Yes … torch & tilt…. makes sense! Thank you 😊
❤ may i ask the name of this tool?
Of course! This is called a boutique wax writer, and it is made by @enkausitikos paints. I love this tool. if you want to learn more about it, check out my instructional video called Luscious Lines. sharybartlett.newzenler.com/courses/luscious-lines/buy. cheers
Beautiful work.
thanks so much, Michele. Do you work with Encaustic as well?
I have never tried but have always admired the effects it creates. Your work is so inspiring.
I'm so pleased. Thanks for your encouragement. Let me know if you have any questions or are interested in one of my online classes, Michele. @@micheleleech8128
Thank you!!
You're welcome!
Absolutely, Miss Clark! You can do Encaustic over a water colour painting and it looks beautiful. Just glue your painting to a wood board and let it dry. Then you can paint wax on it. Just don’t put too many layers of wax on, or you will obscure the painting underneath. Maybe two or three layers would be perfect.
Could you do encaustic over a watercolor painting?
Absolutely. Just glue it down really well onto a cradled hardboard and add Wax.
Can an encaustic work survive in an outdoor enviornment?
Great question. Encaustic does not do well in an outdoor environment because it will melt in the sun and will freeze in freezing conditions. In a normal indoor setting, however, Encaustic will last forever as long as it is not exposed to extreme conditions. In fact, encaustic is the most long lasting paint medium in the world. Thanks for asking.
Great fun! Love your space.❤️
Thanks Melissa. I feel really lucky to be here.

What is that funnel like piece you are using?
Very impressive and beautiful concertina book! May I ask if you use something to create that texture (like encaustic?)
Thank you, Martin, yes, this texture is made from Encaustic. I am doing a series of courses on Encaustic concertina books through painting with fire. If you are interested in Encaustic, this is an amazing year-long online master class. Check out this link. www.bit.ly/PWF23-24-Bartlett
I like it
Thanks, Madison, and sometimes mistakes turn into happy accident :-) Happy painting
Love your you tube videos do you paint on Matt photo before you wax .
Thanks, Max. I sometimes paint on them that photo before I wax but usually, I wax first and then pigment the wax using a pan, pastel or pigment sticks. Hope that helps!
I must go back through all the classes from 1st year. So much information! A fantastic investment!!!
Thanks for letting me know how much you love PWF. It is a great investment and such an inspiring year long program. Glad you are enjoying it.

Yes! And really excellent too!
@@katieloo1970 Thanks for the vote of confidence, Kate. I Find it a great program, myself!
This is really helpful. Thank you!
I’m so glad it was helpful! I love this tool and you will too.
Very interesting🤩How do you clean the thin nozzle part?
Great question! I’m not sure which tool’s nozzle you are referring to, however, I generally don’t clean them! I usually just put a new colour in and then the result is a nice line which combines with the previous colour and the new colour I’ve introduced. For example if I started with red, and then add yellow, I have a nice orange in between as it’s emptying out. However, if you want a totally clean nozzle, you can just add a clear wax and as you drag it across a paper towel, it will clean out the nozzle. Let me know if I’ve understood your question correctly. Good luck.
I love seeing how these hand-crafted tools work. The tools are so beautiful. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks, Jill. They are really amazing tools and have been enhancing the work of artists for hundreds of years! It’s fun to put them to contemporary use in encaustic painting.
Gorgeous!!!!
Thanks so much, Shirley. I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Try out this tool. It’s awesome.
beautiful work 🌞 How do you deal with the general fugitive nature of alcohol ink on encaustic since adding a wax layer wouldn't protect from UV rays?
Hi Alexandra, great question! That is definitely the challenge With alcohol ink. When using it on you pro, you can add a layer of Krylon, fixative, and 2 layers of UV Krylon spray to help protect from fading but these are not compatible with Encaustic. The best protection, as with all fine art, is to place the work in an area that is protected from sunlight, UV rays or halogen lighting. Also, using high-quality inks and blending solution instead of isopropyl alcohol for thinning is helpful. The beautiful intensity and translucency of alcohol inks is so attractive, but it does come with the issues of being fugitive. I always let my collectors know these limitations in advance of purchase. Thanks for such a great question.
Love this! Your artwork is so beautiful. I love the additional detail you've added with the black pen and India Ink.
Thanks Jill. I love that dip pen for detailed work.
Absolutely beautiful, Shary! Your abstracted tree using India ink is stunning. Wonderful tip about using a mirror- I find that taking a photo works for me too to get a different perspective. Your painting at 3:25 reminds me of a heart. Wonderful work.
Thanks so much Dena. I really appreciate your kind words. Yes, I love using a mirror and the painting of the heart…. You got it! Once I saw that heart, I started to enhance it. Glad that you saw it as well. Not exactly anatomically correct though! Hee hee
Awesome. Love this one Shary !!
Thanks Dan. Love your work
Awesome sale!
Thanks, Jill. I’m pretty excited about it.
How dangerous is using encaustic . I’ve heard the room must be ventilated very well..
Hi Christine, Yes, you need good ventilation. With good ventilation and safety precautions, it is safe. We need to be safe with all paints, so great question. Encaustic is so wonderful - you would love it. Check out these sites for more info: www.encausticpaints.com/resources/safety and www.rfpaints.com/encaustic-safety Hope that helps.
