I never heard of Encaustic painting until today. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful knowledge. You’re videos are top class and so easy to follow. I love making my own things to use whenever I can. And love learning how to do different projects. Just when I’m finished learning about one project another pops up 😊 I’m just in awe of this technique thank you. And by the way you are a fantastic teacher too 🥰
Excellent video! I just stumbling across encaustic painting yesterday. I'm so happy I did. I have a lot of investigating to do. Your video was so fantastic. Thank you for making this video and sharing it.
If you're not a teacher you should be.Great video.I have already been making my own medium but I still learned a couple things here.If I could make a suggestion,I use an old coffee grinder from a thrift store to grind the resin.It melts a lot faster.Got 2 fondue pots from thrift stores too.Hope to see more encaustic videos from you.
Thanks for the feedback and the suggestion! I do know a few people who grind the resin first before adding to the wax. It does speed things up and makes mixing easier. But I personally don't like dealing with the dust, especially when they get airborne and I kinda enjoy swirling the resin around when it gets gummy! :) Oh and it means a lot that you still learned a few things from my video even though you know how to make encaustic medium already. That was exactly my hope - for people to still learn bits and pieces from my videos. And feel free to leave more suggestions when you have them! :)
Hi Johwey, thank you for the very informative video! I am wondering where you got the muffin tin cups with out the whole tin? I cant find the muffin cups alone, thanks for any info!
Johwey, veľká vďaka Video je zrozumiteľné a už som si podľa neho vytvorila vlastné enkaustické médium a som s ním spokojná. Ešte som neskúšala farebné , pretože neviem či sú na to špeciálne farebné pigmenty alebo sa môžu použiť rôzne dostupne v predajni!?
Nie je začo. Pokiaľ ide o pigmenty, môžete experimentovať s rôznymi druhmi pigmentov používaných na výrobu farieb. Niektoré ľahko kúpite online, ak nenájdete obchod, ktorý by ich predával lokálne.
Hi Johwey, I bought triple filtered beeswax (1lb bars) and was wondering if the medium is clear when it goes on the canvas? Do I need to lighten it first? The current color of the was is dark yellow.
Hi Bork! You need to use white beeswax if you want a clear encaustic medium. White beeswax has an ivory white color. If you start with a dark yellow beeswax, that yellow tint will carry over when you use it for encaustic medium. I hope this reply helps.

Can you paint candles for burning with encaustic paint?
Thank you
Thanks for this helpful video!
Thank you! So beautifully explained, easy to understand! Subscribed my Teacher!
Another great tutorial, thank you so much!
I am hoping there is a reliable alternative to beeswax...have you used CARNUBA? Thanks...
do you have to filter it? I like dirt because it represents organic ingredients. I think it would be great in an abstract painting.
10 thumbs up!!
how much is 4.5 parts to 1 part, in lbs/oz?
Hi Johwey, thank you for the very informative video! I am wondering where you got the muffin tin cups with out the whole tin? I cant find the muffin cups alone, thanks for any info!
I got the muffin cups from Daiso, a Japanese discount store. Hopefully you have one near you. The muffin cups are $1.50 each.
Where do I buy damar resin?
Great tips!

gracias,podrias hacer los vdeos tambien en español
WHAT ABOUT A VIDEO SHOWING THE RATIO OF ADDING PIGMENTS TO THE WAX MIXTURE?
I have another video that shows how to make encaustic paint.
What's a good source to get reasonably priced beeswax and damaged resin. Thanks
I have damar trees that produce rosin, and shipping around the world. My Instagram @petty_hasilbumi
