    The silicone tray is a very good idea for small panels. For larger ones, a cardboard box a few inches larger than the panel, with raised edges, and lined with parchment paper is more convenient, and cheaper: encaustic wont stick on parchment paper. This is what I did yesterday for a 24”x24” panel.

    Can I add colour to the medium when doing a pour as my base/single layer? Or do I always have to do the first layer with just medium?

      You can definitely add encaustic paint - the pour doesn't have to be done with just encaustic medium.

    Thank you for this video! Information on pouring encaustic is difficult to find. May I ask how you determine the amount of medium you need to cover your surface? When working on large panels this could be difficult to calculate. Thanks

      I haven't poured anything larger than a 12" x 12". I have a few small saucepans and I make sure to melt more than I need because it would be really hard if you realized that you didn't have enough mid pour. I don't have a calculation for the amount of medium, but you might consider using a metal pitcher that you could heat up on your palette or a burner directly so you were sure to have enough for a larger surface.

    May I ask what is the medium and what it is for? Thanks!

      Hi Reynaldo. The medium being poured in this demo video is R&F encaustic medium. It is made from beeswax and damar resin and is used for painting. You can learn more by visiting our website: www.rfpaints.com.

      Does this adhere well to the substrate without fusing?

    • @rfpaints
      @rfpaints  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@reynaldocastaneda4712 no, encaustic medium is not a replacement for gesso. If you are working with encaustic and want to use a gesso underneath to create a sense of radiant white light behind layers of clear encaustic medium or glazes of encaustic paint, you would want to use encaustic gesso. However, encaustic gesso is not necessary. You can also paint directly on an unprimed wood panel with encaustic.

      @@nicolas_caged yes - if you warm your panel up sufficiently it works well. I would not recommend doing multiple pours on top of one another as those will not adhere to one another. They will delaminate over time.
