Fun Mixed Media Techniques: Encaustics with Pan Pastels & Mica Powders

It is week 3 and time for another encaustic technique video! This one will explore using pan pastels and mica powders to add color to the encaustic layer. The pan pastels that I used are tints which means that they are all pastels. Pan pastels also come in full saturated colors and metallics.

The mica powders are from USArtquest. They are a small business located in Michigan and online. The mica powders come in a wide variety of colors and have many uses.

Enjoy this video!

Fun Mixed Media Techniques Painting with Encaustics & Collage

Welcome back to week 2 of the Blessings Project! This week I’ll be showing you how to start your encaustic pieces. This video will demonstrate the first 3-4 layers of encaustic medium and fusing but the remainder pieces I will complete offline and then just work on different techniques on each piece.

Collage using music paper and red tissue paper will be shown.

Let me know if you have any questions on any of the techniques!
