Ok great.I signed up for it.

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. 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. 😊

Thanks Vikki. I love this flower so much.

I sure do. It looks so dreamy and it’s archival.

The irises are made of encaustic as well. the accretion is the background substrate for them..

Thank you so much, Miss starlight! I'm glad you enjoyed it, and… I love your name.

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

Thank you

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.

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.

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 😊

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

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

You're welcome!

Absolutely. Just glue it down really well onto a cradled hardboard and add Wax.

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.

Thanks Melissa. I feel really lucky to be here.

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

Thanks, Madison, and sometimes mistakes turn into happy accident :-) Happy painting

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!

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.

It sure is, Cynthia! 52 weeks for a lifetime! 26 amazing teachers. Do you have any questions? Happy to answer!

Take a look at the amazing teachers and courses that are listed on this information page, Cynthia! www.bit.ly/PWF23-24-Bartlett

Yes! And really excellent too!

@@katieloo1970 Thanks for the vote of confidence, Kate. I Find it a great program, myself!

I’m so glad it was helpful! I love this tool and you will too.

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.

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.

Thanks so much, Shirley. I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Try out this tool. It’s awesome.

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.

Thanks Jill. I love that dip pen for detailed 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

Thanks Dan. Love your work

Thanks, Jill. I’m pretty excited about it.

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.
