  Its always been my understanding that acrylic and encaustic are incompatible. The result is a non-archival painting. Please explain how you know about acrylic with encaustic. Thx

• 
  @danaharrisseeger9 сағат бұрын

  Thanks for asking! I know from years of experience and working with multiple mediums that yes, you can paint encaustic over acrylic. The main thing is you want an absorbent surface for the encaustic to stick, and if you keep the encaustic thin or make sure that you mix in something absorbent such as marble dust (calcium carbonate) add collage with paper that has a tooth, etc. your encaustic won’t peel or fall off over time. Hope that helps!

  I don't have another video, but I usually use a couple baby wipes and then you can rinse with warm water and a scrubby sponge. If the linoleum is unmounted it can warp with the water, so dry it with paper towel or regular towel and then press under some books before using again.

  You could also use a pancake griddle...Target, Walmart have them..everybody sells them..LOL I found mine at thrift stores, all working 100%. As for the iron, I use a small travel iron, a regular iron and a Veneer edge banding sealing iron, which you can get at any home improvement store or Amazon. They run between $86-$93. With a regular iron, I was told to find one with a flat base..no holes. I have both and they work the same. The holes are for steam and wax + steam =😮 LOL If you're undecided, maybe you know another artist who uses them...and can let you try. Have fun!!!

  Hi there, What acid-free quality provides to printmaking ???

• 
  @danaharrisseeger2 ай бұрын

  Hi there, paper has a tendency to yellow over time when exposed to air and light, especially if it contains acid. You will notice old newspapers that are brittle and discolored. Acid free paper doesn’t do that so it is archival and preserves the integrity of the artwork as it was first made. Cheers

I just forgot or how to do it and I don’t watch it anymore because I can’t do it so I figure out other ways but if you could help me out or give me some guidance or information, just for curiosity sake, I would appreciate it.

• 
  @danaharrisseeger5 ай бұрын

  Yes, it's kind of hard to explain ha ha. The pattern is called a "pick" but you can "pick up" from below (the two patterned threads that are together to form a thicker or double thread. These are the ones that are below the Shed) or you can "push" down the two pattern threads that are showing above the Shed (the space created when you raise or lower the heddle). Does that make sense? Each "pattern thread" is really two that are strung together. If you haven't already, watch my "Warping the Loom" video which is Part 2: kzread.info/dash/bejne/haOAt5p-l5C-n9I.html

  If I paint on encaustic with oil paints, can I do a layer of encaustic on top of the paint? At what point do I fuse the paint - Let it dry first? Then add wax on top?

• 
  @danaharrisseeger5 ай бұрын

  Yes you can! You can fuse right after you paint. You don't need to let it "dry" but just know that if you fuse heavily, the paint will bleed into the background layer. So I fuse lightly and let it cool and fuse lightly again. You can test to see if it will smear before you add encaustic on top by running your finger or a tissue lightly over the paint. If it comes off, it's not ready for an encaustic layer. Hope that helps!

  Hi Faith, great question! Sale price depends on how much time you spend, how much it's worth to you, and how much you think people will purchase it for. 2x2" is pretty small. If you are making tons then selling them for a lesser price makes sense if you can sell a LOT of them. If they each take you an hour, then you are making $5 per hour (minus your materials cost). That's just a reference point. Hope that helps!

  Do you use any special type of ink specifically for plexiglass?

• 
  @danaharrisseeger7 ай бұрын

  Sometimes! Usually I use water based acrylic screen printing ink. I try not to smear it while it's still wet. After it dries (whether you rough up the surface with sand paper first or just leave it shiny) it can also be scratched off, so I usually place the images on the back side of my final presentation. You can apply a clear coat of acrylic sealer after it has dried to the whole thing, but sometimes it can leave a darker tone. I have also used oil based ink, and you can get vinyl ink for non-porous surfaces, but these use solvents to clean off the screen and I don't like doing that, so I stay away from them.

• 
  @danaharrisseeger8 ай бұрын

  If you want your ink to dry faster, you can add a dryer. If it's oil based, then adding an alkyd medium will help it dry faster. There are others but they are kind of toxic. For acrylic based, putting on some more air - like hanging up with a fan on them, is key.
