Adding details to encaustic painting using black pigment oil stick.

I have carved into this painting, creating spaces where black oil stick can be embedded. I rub it in and remove it with vegetable oil. Then, using my torch, I set the black and burn off the oil.
Black oil stick on Encaustic Painting
มุมมอง 5153 ปีที่แล้ว
In this video, I am demonstrating how I use R & F Black Pigment Stick to add depth and dimension to my colorful encaustic (beeswax and natural resin) painting. Once the oil stick has been applied and rubbed into the holes and divots, I remove the remaining black using plain vegetable oil. Nothing fancy. After I have rubbed off all excess black, I then use my torch to set the black and burn off ...

ahm, really nice!😉
I like your videos! I enjoyed this project. I subscribed to your channel.hope you post more😊!
Thank you! I’ve got some new ideas and hope to get those videos made soon. Have a great day!
Did you know that your birds video has been tagged by TH-cam as a child's video? I think it's because you were describing your paint set as a "student thing." I can't save your bird video in a Playlist, or subscribe to your Channel. So disappointing as I just found you and love your art! Don't you just love AI and it's mindless determinations. Just thought you'd like to know. ❤❤❤
Thank you! I wonder if I can change that setting. 🤔
CONGRATS!!! No Instructions and you DID IT!!! Way2Go!!! Emily <3
So nice! I also liked your video about the birds😊.
Thank you!
@@emilywilliams-wheeler7685 you're welcome and thank you for sharing 😊.
This looks cool! Thanks for sharing:)
It’s a lot of fun!
Very creative!
Very beautiful!!!
Thank you!
Great paintings! Very different work👍🖼
Thank you so much!😊
❤I never thought about using the easer for drawing tool. Thank you. And lesson
Great video! Thank you for choosing AE panels!!!
I would only recommend yours!
@@emilywilliams-wheeler7685 Do you have any recent videos on our panels?
Or plan on doing more videos? We could provide the panels. :)
I always paint on them. I just got two new panels from Blick and hope to start them in the next couple of weeks. I’m traveling right now. I would love to put together a video using the panels! I totally believe in them.
@@emilywilliams-wheeler7685 Reach out when you return and we can set you up.

FINALLY somebody intelligently explained what a cradled panel is. You have helped me so much. The idea of staining the sides turned my light bulb on bc buying frames is a pain. Thank you dear heart
Yay! That’s exactly why I no longer frame anything. I’ve saved a bundle, plus adding that depth to the painting makes it seem more sculptural hanging on the wall. Have fun!
Love it!!!! I will try this for sure with my grand child…thank you for sharing it with us, you are very creative ❣️
You are very welcome! It’s one of my favorite projects for my students.
I’m trying it 😍
Yay! Have fun.😊
So fun. Thanks
😊
😍❤️😘
Thank you so much for this info.
You’re welcome!
Thank you. Its good to hear from someone who has used these products for a long time.
Okie dokie artichoke! I'm gonna do it. I have been thinking of getting a foodservice scraper. However I did get a stainless steel one from the painter section of Walmart a few weeks ago. Really sharp edges on it but a flexible blade. Think I am going to try using pliers for bending the corners up and away from the canvas surface. Probably should grind em down in case for some reason someone steps on it. I'll never leave it on a flooring but I am in a frequent earthquake zone so ya can't be too safe
Great info. Was wondering how you hang a large 2" cradled panel...a lil heavy? Thought about drilling a couple holes in the top and hanging onto wood securely attached to the wall??? Any thoughts on that,m TY 😊
Excellent question! I use Hangman French-style cleat hangers. Work like a dream and I buy the ones that can handled much heavier weight than my painting just to be confident. You can order them from many places. Here’s an example from Ace. www.acehardware.com/departments/hardware/hanging-and-mounting/picture-hanging/5767470?store=18142&gclid=CjwKCAjwxZqSBhAHEiwASr9n9Kxzl9dV3huQ1jLDFgPAu6bwqQmE2L__ucyODyB-0KSck055st4GHhoCTwsQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
TY!
I'm back...lol. I ended up making French cleats from wood...1 by 3's. I wanted it to sit inside the cradle, flush with the edge. Seems ok so far!
@@teresagrigsby-rose8761 That’s great!
Great vídeo! I was wondering if you have to seal before adding the gesso
Hi! I don’t. I’ve never had any trouble. Gesso goes onto raw canvas as a seal and works the same on wood panels. It’s like primer when painting bare walls.
No, you really should seal the wood. It may seem fine now but over time the wood has a greater chance of warping or rotting. The painting itself can be effected by Support Induced Discoloration (SID) over time.
@@markbarry6228there’s lots of conflicting advice if one watches 20 or 30 TH-cam vids on panel prep (without even getting into stretched canvas frames!). So not to be a negative Nelly or a mansplaining down talking commenter, all I can say is the majority of artists seal their panels with something like GAC100 followed by a Gesso product. So there’s that.😀
Do you pull the tape off before the gesso dries? Was wondering if it peels on the edges when tape is removed? Thnx for the video. 🙂
Hi! I don’t remove the tape until the painting is complete. I have rarely had trouble with peeling when removing the tape. If there is difficulty removing the tape, I just use an Xacto knife to carefully grab a corner of the tape. The tape helps preserve the edges so well. Good luck!
Thanks for the helpful video! Wouldn't the sides and underneath need to be sealed too? Or do you do this at the end?
I always sand and seal the sides with two coats of satin polyurethane. The inside back is fine left as is. It’s like canvas. We don’t paint both sides of the canvas as a rule. Of course, you’re certainly not wrong if you decide to seal the back. Have fun!
Absolutely beautiful!😍😍👏👏👏
Thank you!😊
Hi! I’m so glad to see someone drawing silly trees! I LOVE to draw silly non existent trees and people say they look like a child’s work! People don’t know how to have fun! Everything needs to be VERY seriou! So, I enjoyed your video very much. And by the way, I love blue or purple trees. 😁 Your trees are so cute, so lovely, that make us smile. Adults need to learn how to have fun like this. Love from Portugal 💙💙🌲🌳🌴
Thank you so much! I completely agree.❤️
This is a goat to me thihiiii xD Very funny way to create something xD Has some Tim Burton Vibe xD
I think , I would like to paint the inside back panel and include the surrounding sides for a “shadow box look”… but not necessarily add any 3 D objects in the box, lots of texture on painting surface itself, might be cool. What do you think?, have you done that sort of thing before?
That sounds like a great idea! I haven’t tried it, but I think that would work well. Keep me posted.😊
Wow! This will help me make some cards for hospitalized kids. I love to send whimsical thinking of you cards to them and since I am not an artist I rely on great videos like this for ideas. Thanks very much. Love, lorrie
Awesome! You just made my day. If you enjoyed those, then this video will definitely help put a smile on someone's when they make these silly birds or receive them. th-cam.com/video/ZxjWPQRuSm0/w-d-xo.html

Thank you! I’m working on new ideas. Stay tuned.😊
I heard that modpodge was a type of pva. When you paint does it reactivate? Cause i thougth about using pva on top of the gessoed panel but i dont know if a particular brand is acid free. Any suggestions on that? Great video thanks.
rainangel159 Hi! Thanks for the compliment. Mod Podge is a PVA. It’s what I have in my studio from other projects and I have a lot so I’m using it up. I have not used it directly touching the paints. I have only used it with paper as a barrier between. Did you know that there is clear gesso? www.dickblick.com/items/00618-2006/
