  • Dale Roberts is one of the world's best painters of encaustic, which is an ancient medium using hot wax with colored pigment mixed in. What really sets Dale apart is that he uses this medium to create breathtakingly painterly but realistic landscapes and still lives. If you want to learn how he paints, watch this video and learn from a real master.

    I am 70 years old and started painting two years ago and I love it. When I grow up, I will try my hands on encaustic painting!

    Dale is wonderful! I participated in a workshop of his at the Community Arts Center. He thoughtfully demonstrated his technique of encaustic painting and shared his wealth of knowledge. It was an honor to learn from him.

    I just learned about encaustic painting. I wonder what some of the great fresco painters would make of it.
    I love your final result. There is something enchanting about the original building with the layers of paints through the years. Then your painting captures it, and more. Thank you!!!

    This is so inspirational for a student like myself. At first Encaustic painting seemed to be mushy colors and undefined shapes (which is cool if that's what you're going for), but this video has drawn me to this style so much. I love the architecture and the colors that blend together. Thank you very much!

    Thank you I needed this. Now I know I'm switching. I had been using cold wax and oil but the long drying times I can't stand but I do like the textures etc. I had been doing acrylic but I hate the dullness this seems the way to go. I love the instant dry feature but with the ability to keep working it as long as I want by heating it up.

      @beckywebb1916 5 років тому +2

      You can use oil paint, I believe at no more than a 50/50 oil paint to wax. But don’t use turpentine, or any mineral spirits at all.

    This was wonderful to see and very informative. I am currently attempting to restore a friend's mother's encaustic painting that over the years (nearly 50) has cracked and the actual paint/wax has begun to break. Any suggestion you might have to offer I'd certainly appreciate. There is very little available about how to bring these beautiful paintings back from the brink.

    A friend of mine on Twitch was showing off an encaustic painting he did of a rather dapper frog. I've become enamored with encaustics, but in the same hand it makes me extremely sad to see how limited they are used. I'm not a huge fan of abstracts as I personally do not see the same weight of skill put into them as I do a realist piece, or even Impressionism. It's nice to see it used in a manner which is so much more in lines with it's roots.

I would appreciate any info you may have gotten.

      I thought so. There are little mixed packs of encaustic blocks or kits for purchase with a variety of items. The kits never have enough of the plain clear, i use for the background, i just purchase a bigger block to accommodate my needs.

    Is 'terra cotta' the description you're searching for when describing the colour of bricks?

  • @gustavopaezspont

    Your technique is very interesting, master. Personally I am carrying out tests on walls, and the use of turpentine gives me good results. After polishing, I give a coat of clarified varnish.
