This so beautiful to watch -the beauty of the process and the exquisite result. Inspiring. I have just discovered encaustics and dedicated a space in my studio to learn about it. I'm fascinated and nearly obsessed with it. Thank you for this video which shows just how far reaching a medium it is. You are a wonderful artist!
Thank you everyone for your comments and questions. I am just now finding all your questions, so am a bit late in responding. The oil is vegetable oil and is used for removing the excess oil paint. The oil stick is from R&F encaustic supplies. And when I use wax on the ceramic clay it is always free of any kind of glaze or underglaze. Raw fired clay only. The piece in the video is fired to cone 6.
Debra your work is beautiful and inspiring. Thank you for providing a behind-the-scenes look at how the magic happens!
I am so moved watching you work. This really inspires me to do a large piece of work.
Fantastic! Love the 3D and 2D combination. Your use of oil sticks very good. Love the size of your work too. Well done!
Amazingly beautiful work, thankyou so much for sharing.
Beautiful work Deborah, congratulations! Great art week for you.
Oh my oh my, this is just stunning, I could watch you for hour's on end, Love it xx Hugs Dede xxx

Thank you P.A. Thats just about the best comment I have ever received .
Great video. Love your work.
Beautiful work
Wunderschöne Arbeiten! Komplimente!
Hi Deborah, I just wanted to tell you that what you created here is amazing, also love the music you chose for the video. One more thing, I noticed you used wax crayons on the canvas, I don't know if this helps but there is an encaustic paste called Master Paste Original or MPO for short, it spreads really nicely and smoothly and, in my opinion, way more flexible and easier to use than crayons... Anyway keep up your beautiful work!
What an incredible representation of scared geometry. Da Vinci would be proud
Your art is breathtaking and the video is a pleasure to watch. Can you tell me how many layers of wax you started with before adding the color to the painting, and did you add any encaustic layers on top of the colored layer? Thank you so much for sharing.
Nice work. After you apply the oil paint, what fluid were you using? Linseed oil or some type of cleaner? Thanks!
So very beautiful! What is the oil you rub on after the paint?
Could you show more or give more information on using Encaustic on sculputure and pottery. I am doing some experimentation in that area. Are there any specific clay bodies you find more accepting to the wax?
Do you use a finish of some sort on top of the encaustic wax on your sculpture to protect the surface?
what type of colors are you using to paint the canvas ?
Maravilhoso!!!. Oi Deborah . Meu nome é Regina. Estou iniciando o aprendizado com a encaustica. Será que você pode me ajudar. Você tem mais vídeos de aprendizado? No aguardo,
