I have been dabbling in encaustic for the last few weeks and really like it.
For one, it is a really cheap way of presenting one's work.
The biggest investment is a heat gun and a hot plate.
The artist wood panels, beeswax, resin, paper and ink are recurring charges.
I have found that using Kozo paper, weight of about 40- 55 gm, allows me to mount the print directly in the wax without any glue.
I have used inkjet prints and cyanotypes so far.
To print on Kozo paper in the Epson, I mount it on watercolor paper.
I am curious to know if any other member has tried their hands at encaustic and their experiences. Thanks!
