Thanks for sharing, Ross. Well communicated, candid and honest. This is how people can actually learn. And you are wise enough to allow for peers being something other than competition! Hope you find time to share more. How much we could all learn if artists would share. Maybe some of just don't know how.
Thanks and my pleasure David! My background is in theatre and it's all about community; sharing comes easily for me... probably because I'm not wise enough to be fearful...
Ross, I loved this piece. In particular, your advice that there are no mistakes or failures, just opportunities to learn more, is so freeing. Your love of what you do comes shining through.
Very inspiring Ross, i learned photo encaustic in the U.S in 2003 from the late Robert Von a photo professor from NYU and find myself pioneering the process in U.K, teaching is rewarding! cheers!
Ryan and Opus, once again an excellent video! Thank you. Ross, nice to see you sharing your knowledge shaping young minds. I am STILL using the photo you took of me in my Bio. You are a fabulous artist!
Hey Jwalzer - Ross is mounting his digital print onto a wood cradled panel. We have a video detailing the steps and materials needed here: th-cam.com/video/0Z6ke44bDHc/w-d-xo.html Hope this helps!
Hi Nicole - Ross is using Wintergreen Oil for his photo transfers, however, you can also use a solvent-based marker like the Chartpak Blender Marker to achieve similar results. We have a full list of the products shown in the video here: www.opusartsupplies.com/rossdenotter Hope this helps!
Hi Ross, may I ask your advice please? I am in the middle of a mixed media picture and I want to finish it with a wax sealant like you have done here. I have successfully done this before. Today I saw someone who seals their wax after it has dried. Is this just for aesthetic purposes do you think or does sealing the wax have any long lasting benefits? I've never sealed the wax before. Hoping you don't mind me asking you for your advice here. Thanks! x

You just sent me in a direction I have always wanted to go in. I am going to mix photography with mix media now. Thank yo very much.

Thank you so much for this.
Can I do that on canvas instead oaf wood?
Yes you can do it on canvas but watch out because the weight of the resin makes the canvas unleveled leaving hills and valleys〰
so nice !
I like what you said cheers
Ive found that photo glossy paper doesn't adhere well to resin.
more imagine
