Encaustic Art Learning - beginning fantasy work

Create a fantasy image in Encaustic Art. Discover the exciting opportunities to create imagined worlds and places using molten wax colours applied with the iron. How to create a Fantasy Scry Steps Load the iron with bands of colour, reflecting the same on each side. Start in the middle with the lightest colour which is Mid Yellow (44) then add bands of Blue Green (08), Red Violet (12) and Prussian Blue (18). Bed the iron down onto an A6 card and slide it across, leaving the wax deposited. One iron full of wax covers one A6 card. Whilst the wax is still warm, put the iron back in the starting place and lift the trailing edge of the iron slightly off the card whilst moving the iron along and slightly upwards off the surface. When done correctly, wonderful dribbled wax patterns will be formed. This suctional effect produces lovely fantasy results; backgrounds that can be worked into! Allow the wax to cool, then pick up the card and begin working into the foreground area.
