- I haven't tried this technique for several years, but adding rust to your wax paintings is so fun I knew I needed to make a video about it. There's several ways you can do, some of which work better than others. Have you ever tried experimenting with rust on encaustic paintings? How did you do it?
Beautiful. What a cool technique!
You have a wonderful channel here! I like how you walk us through your process and take us along for the ride. You deserve a lot more subscribers!
Thank you so much!! 😊😊😊
You can hold a magnet over the steel wool bits and draw them up 👍
Oooo! Great idea!!
Thank you for this technique can t wait to try it. Good week to you
So so awesome! 🙌
Awesome !
Fabulous. I can't wait to try this. I just discovered encaustic and I LOVE rust. Thank you!!!
Awesome!! Have fun!!
Is part of the thickness in the first applications containing fibre? I was wondering if you could just soak a steel wool pad and strain it thru cheesecloth and then drop it on? If there is fibre in the heavy colour though this would dilute the effect. I love how you try such different approaches. 🤙
That would a really interesting thing to try!! I may have to try it.
When you put the steel wool in the cup, did you leave that overnight?
Yes, I did. But it depends on how dark you want the rust to get. A couple hours will work, too.
Doesn't the wax melt off in very hot climates?
The resin in the wax makes it more durable, but yes- you don't want it to be too hot where your piece is hanging because the wax will soften and could chip or scratch more easily.
Vinegar and peroxide and a little salt will give you a quicker rusting solution 👍🏻
Oooo, thank you!
