Uncharted

Randy and Lisa Lee

Encaustic photography is a technique that uses beeswax and damar resin to protect a photograph. It adds mystery, texture and an ethereal feel. Other items can be incorporated such as encaustic paints, pastels, oil paints, found items, texture, or stencils to create a mixed media piece. Images can be printed on different types of paper and embedded into the wax or burnished over the top layer of wax. The “caustic” part of the term indicates that heat is used to melt and blend the layers of wax into a unified piece.

Encaustic Care: Indoor environments generally do not get hot enough to worry about the wax melting. Just make sure wherever you hang or store your art, temperatures do not exceed 120 degrees. Hanging encaustic photography in prolonged periods of direct sunlight is not recommended. Do not leave your art piece in a hot car. During the first year while the wax is curing, light haze may appear. This is called blooming and is normal. You can remove the bloom and/or any fingerprints by buffing your artwork using the warm/clean palm of your hand, a soft lint-free cloth or even a panty hose. Just make sure the surface is clean and dust free first to avoid scratching the wax. Dust your artwork with something soft like a Swiffer or soft lint-free cloth.

Each piece is handmade and one of a kind. Slight variations may occur.

Framed: 4" x 4"
