Anyway, yesterday my lovely husband bought me an encaustic iron and some waxes as I've been really wanting to try encaustic art for a while now.
I had watched a few demos on you tube and it looked so easy, glide the iron across with the wax on, twist it and turn it in different ways and dab it here and there and you have a masterpiece... Well they did... It wasn't quite like that for me. I couldn't wait to get started, I used watercolour paper and although not masterpieces and the fact that like anything else when you see an expert do something it looks easy and I was a bit clumsy with it, I absolutely enjoyed it and shall keep practising. So here are my first attempts of encaustic art.
