I recently became aware of using the encaustic process with photography and decided I wanted to try it with my photographs. Encaustic medium combines beeswax with damar resin which is kept in a molten state and applied to the photograph either by pouring or painting on with a brush. A heat gun is used to fuse the wax and then more layers can be added. Texture can be created with a brush or a scribing tool and whatever your imagination can come up with. So far, I'm having fun with it and I've been happy with the results.
