But does it look encaustic?


A happy little photoshop experiment has led me to a new technique. If you have had a chance to look at my current Art Creations Friday challenge submission, you may notice that it has a waxy look. Almost, dare I say, encaustic. So I tried the technique on other projects and while not all come out as I would like, I do get a fairly consistent appearance that looks, at least to me, like encaustic work. Digital wax.

My technique is not ready to be shared -- yet -- as it's still a work in progress. But I'm really happy with what I've created so far and look forward to more photoshop fun as I try to perfect this.

This is amazing. It is totally encaustic looking. Genius.

Yippee! Love this! It definitely has an encaustic look and feel, if you can "feel" digitally, (which I'm sure you can).
