I just found you on Instagram and am looking forward to more lessons from you.I feel like I found a treasure! Thank you for sharing your skills, gifts and abilities. From S. Alberta, God bless.
So glad I came across your video. I had done B/W transfers before, but have forgotten, now it all comes back!, I am interested on your painting on iPad…. Wow. Any particular program you used??l
Thank you! I use ProCreate on my iPad. I often find I have to bounce between multiple programs though…Procreate, Canva and Photoshop. I’m no expert but it seems I can’t do everything in one program
Not sure, if you see these comments. I am assuming for the painting you did under the tree you switched to encaustic paint, from the watercolour you used to fix up the tree?.l
Enjoyed watching... interesting finish a flood of wax. I thought it looked great all the way through. 😊 Definitely interested in taking a class at some point. 👍👍
Hi Nancy. Sone ppl have had success with inkjet but I’ve not been able to get the transfer to work with anything other than a laser print or a photocopy. Toner seems to work.
@@cindyjamesartstudio, that is true, consensus is, it needs to be toner, and not inkjet. That is WHY I recently purchased a toner printer, also cheaper for replacement cartridges I think
Hi, Maura...so there are techniques to use encaustic on glass and even plexiglass. I haven't gone down that road myself, but one day I will try it! I did a quick Google search for encaustic painting on glass, but nothing really came up. If I find something later on I will definitely repost.
Hi, Michelle...these are silicon baking mats...I think I said Silpat....but now I have a Teflon barbeque sheet over these as it's even easier to clean up! www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/master-chef-silicone-baking-sheet-red-0420900p.0420900.html?gclid=Cj0KCQiArt6PBhCoARIsAMF5wahVjMHvCS9RMM-AegcinoPdfZtTPFactvD8hOiJQ75AiaczZpNtgucaAojdEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds#store=288 www.amazon.ca/dp/B087CVM7BM/ref=redir_mobile_desktop?_encoding=UTF8&aaxitk=340d6ce8af216ab781e99135f85e0bf3&hsa_cr_id=6532781170101&pd_rd_plhdr=t&pd_rd_r=ac17735a-4b0e-4744-84c3-b16e3c4b3a5b&pd_rd_w=odqXk&pd_rd_wg=PyAYs&ref_=sbx_be_s_sparkle_mcd_asin_0_img&th=1
I transferred the image beautifully but when I put another layer of wax on top and heated it the image ran and the ink went all over the place and the image was wrecked!
Hi Susan. Yes that can happen. Remember that the image is sitting on top of the wax. If you hear it up and the wax under the image moves around, your image will also move and probably break up. Gentle fusing is best once your image is in place. If you are putting a layer of clear wax overtop, that will be fine but if it’s a little thick scrape it back before you fuse and then gently fuse so the wax doesn’t move znd take your image with it! Hope that helps. I’ve been there many times
Hi Wendy :). Here is a link to my studio supply setup list. I have the torch information there. static1.squarespace.com/static/5ac81ae15417fc831154958d/t/5edc66f48f535f1815d40511/1591502584890/Studio+Setup+Supply+List.pdf

Heidi Wiebe, I am also from AB, another Mennonite gal, y ❤encaustics!
Absolutely gorgeous piece! And good to see the photo transfer technique works well - thank you 😊
Thank you. Just want to make sure you remove the background as best you can.!

@@cindyjamesartstudio , I appreciate your reply.
Beautiful!
Thank you!
Thanks. Wax has a lovely aesthetic as a surface and embedding medium.
Thank you. I agree it does :)

thanks, Carrie ... I hope we'll all be taking classes again before too long. Appreciate the comment!
Fantastic video - thank you ! Really enjoyed watching your process . Kind regards - Judi - Australia
Thank you very much Judi :). I appreciate the feedback. All the best to you!
Love tour work thanks again ... would love it if y leave sound on while adding the painting too .. great!!!
Thank you Wendy :)
Very useful Cindy. Thank you
Awesome. I’m glad it was useful:)
such a fine piece of art!
Thank you very much :)
Thanks for the very helpful tutorial!
Thank you for the comment :)
Really appreciated your showing us your process. Does it work with inkjet or does it have to be laser printed?

@@cindyjamesartstudio, that is true, consensus is, it needs to be toner, and not inkjet. That is WHY I recently purchased a toner printer, also cheaper for replacement cartridges I think
@@Everyhandletaken213the toner lasts a very long time at least!
When you came back in with painting the ground portion, what kind of paint were you using? Watercolor or oils?
Hi Tammy. I used a little bit of watercolour to touch up some cracks on the image transfer but everything else was encaustic wax :)
Are you adding color with encaustic paint, oil paint, or something else?
So I used a little bit of watercolour to touch up the tree -that was in the palette. Everything else was wax.
Just wondering, do you do any encuastic mentoring ever??. ☺
well, I don't think that is something I can take on right now...it's definitely a journey, though, so be kind to yourself and you will grow!
Is your wax cool when you add the water to the back of your burnished image transfer?
Hi Karen. Yes it is mostly cool but I don’t necessarily wait for it to be cold.
Thank you!
Beautiful video. Thank you.
Thank you!
Are you applying the image to warm wax, allowing it to cool and then removing the paper?
Yes. That is what I demonstrate in the video. Burnishing then remove with water:)
please what brand of printer do you use? i want to buy a laser for my studio and need to know how expensive i need to go! thank you
I bought a fairly inexpensive printer from Costco a few years ago. It’s an HP Color laser jet pro MFP M180nw
Love it but I'd rather have spider than a fly etc unless its venomous 😆
Can you do this technique on glass
Hi, Maura...so there are techniques to use encaustic on glass and even plexiglass. I haven't gone down that road myself, but one day I will try it! I did a quick Google search for encaustic painting on glass, but nothing really came up. If I find something later on I will definitely repost.
Thank you so much for making this video, I learned a lot and I so appreciate your dedicated and very inspiring tutorials =)
Thank you very much:)
I know it’sbeen a lo g time but with what paint did you did the bottom?
Hi Maricela. It is encaustic wax. I don’t remember what colours exactly though :)
I didn’t catch what you said the mats underneath were. Can you please let me know. Thanks!

Is that wax you're painting on the landscape area? I see something in your left hand.
Yes it is a block of wax
Thank you

@@cindyjamesartstudiothanks…..it’s certainly a fun challenge!
What kind of paint in the end?
Just wax!
And a little bit of watercolour to touch up the tree :)
Can images be transferred in color in stead of black and white?
Yes, this image was printed with a colour laser printer. Some inks maybe be more permanent than others.
@@cindyjamesartstudio thank you!
Hello again, would u b so kind as to share which Benzomatic torch you use? There are lots of them. Thanks again.
Hi Wendy :). Here is a link to my studio supply setup list. I have the torch information there.

This is amazing...but...you talk as everything is a question which is like nails on a chalkboard.
Haha. Well thanks for the critique. My kids would probably agree with you. I would suggest you avoid my videos if it’s that painful for you.
Oh my gosh, I really loved watching your video, and your voice and video style is so enjoyable!
