Encaustic Poinsettia Painting // Hot Wax Painting! LOOK at what came in my Smart Art Box this month! Find out how YOU can get a box of premium art supplies delivered to your door every month: http://smartartbox.com/ They also offer One Time Gift Boxes perfect for holiday gifts!

Supplies:
Surface: Ampersand Art Encaustic Board
Media: Encausticos Wax Pigment Sticks
Brushes: Hog angular 1/2" a #4 round
Silicone Spatula
Coffee Mug Warmer & Aluminum foil for palette
Stamped tissue paper
*I also use oil pastels from a previous smart art box for more color options

Encaustic art directions:
1. Cover the coffee mug warmer with tin foil and melt your color on it.
2. Use a brush or silicone spatula to quickly transfer the melted wax to the painting board.
3. Clean the brush by "rinsing" it is clear wax medium and wiping it on a paper towel. The brushes you use for encaustics will need to be kept for encaustics as you will not be able to remove all of the wax.
4. Embed collage element on the the painting using hot wax as a "glue" if desired.

Tip! A heat gun on low can be used to rework an area of a painting. Just make sure not to get it too close to the painting and use caution.

This is my favorite smart art box yet and I hope you enjoyed the tutorial!
