i have dabbled in encaustics and like so much about it.

first of all the smell of wax is yummy, the unpredictable 

quality, the soft translucence like looking through a dream.

but sometimes talking out all of the equipment involved,

having a day warm enough to leave the windows open,

and the patience isn't a luxury that is available.  i saw this golden 

video  showing  faux encaustic options.  i used matt soft gel medium 

mixed  with fluid matt medium and a tiny bit of golden quinacradone

nickel azo gold and applied the mixture with a small palate knife, 

there are other recipes that i intend to try in the future.

let me know if you try it.

here is the golden video i watched.

sharing with paint party friday

have a lovely week!
