Very interesting, so no need to fuse between layers? I have layered thick areas and pressed that mesh into the warm wax with similar results. Thank you for sharing.
Hi Neena I fused the piece several times during the 15 or so minutes it took the texture to accumulate. And then fused it to a shine when I was done as well :)
Hi mollie hoffart ! If your brush is warm from the wax it will release small amounts of wax for quite a while before becoming completely hard . Cheap chip brushes work great for this technique :)
This is really isn't a good example of the accretion method of layering. Learn to edit out the repetitive lYERS. Then focus on the color layering.... hugs, cat
It's such a great texture..I experimented with a cheap disposable BBQ grill..fun results ... thank you for sharing ..x
nice work but I really love the music you used, can you tell me the name?

Also great point Neena ! The mesh makes a great impression texture in the wax as well
Do you warm up the encaustic gesso?
Did you fuse your layers of white wax
Beautiful
how do you keep brushing the same wax, my wax dries within 5 seconds on the board
