Did you fuse the pefect pearls to it? or does it adhere enough without. I love PP's but never thought to try them wet on my encaustic!
@PABragg6 күн бұрын
Crazy, huh? One day about an hour after I had finished a piece and it wasn't warm, soft, or anything, I thought it would be so cool to flick some gold onto it. I could not believe the PP stuck and I have had no problem with it flaking off or anything. I definitely don't fuse it in. Thank you for watching.

I am a beginner and trying to sort out all the conflicting information regarding encaustic over acrylic paints. Does the fixative spray prevent any issues? I've also read that encaustic medium alone can serve as the adhesive, so you could avoid gluing the image down? Any help appreciated. Thanks!
@PABragg Жыл бұрын
Glad you asked, Chris. I remember starting out and trying hard to find answers to my questions. I ended up learning a lot by trial and error, but I was on a budget and trying to minimize expenses. I tried both way of adhering...with Yes paste and with just using the encaustic. Unless what I was adhering was very thin (like tissue paper which almost just melts right into the encaustic medium) I use the Yes paste because when I adhere thicker things like a photograph or some lace, curls up and pulls apart. I lost a few pieces that way. I haven't tried any spray fixatives. Hope this helps!

I haven't left a comment on here in years, but you are so generous, sharing your technique, that I wanted to say I really appreciate you for doing that. I so love artists that are open about their process, and find it inspiring, interesting, and incredibly helpful. I have been trying to figure out how to combine my poetry into mixed media, so your piece is like a divine intervention :) Beautiful piece. Really, truly appreciate you for sharing.
