fantastic encaustic

Totally loving these works of art by Susan Najarian........I am so intrigued by this process...check it out.......

The photos are digitally manipulated and the images are then transferred to a wood frame covered in encaustic wax. Layers of wax then suspend the image, altering the appearance to produce the cloud like feeling of the medium.

"Encaustic is from the ancient Greek word that means to heat. The medium consists of beeswax melted with a small amount of resin to impart hardness. This mixture becomes paint when pigment is added to the molten wax. I use the hot wax like paint and I fuse layers of wax to a stable surface using a blow torch or heat gun....."
