    The most complete book i've found on encaustic art
  

*by C***R on Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2013*

Encaustic art is stunning and unusual and in an odd way, haunting.  With encaustic art, you are completing a painting in wax.  This can also mean taking a photograph and covering it with wax, then adding in your encaustic touches. Due to the veiled opaque-like coating, it is almost like incorporating a fog into one's art and you can't quite tell how the work is done.I purchased several books lately that have tidbits of encaustic art techniques but this one is thick and rich in instruction and ideas and the most complete book I've found.In fact, it's so rich in ideas that I made it a bedside book.  It's not a book you leaf through and pick up a few things...this one is truly so complete and has so many different ideas and ways of doing art that it's like taking a course. I don't mean that it reads like a textbook by any means, however.  It is fantastic reading and a visual utopia.I have found many books to be by one artists who shows their way but what is unique here is that encaustic artists have all created different ways of doing their art and this book visits some of the top artists, top ideas, top techniques, and then fills you with great examples of things you'd never thought of as well when using wax.  It was exactly what I was looking for to spark creative ideas and learn the art form.  However, if you are already an encaustic artist, I have no doubt you'll learn from the book as well.A variety of materials are discussed, endless pictures with visual examples of methodology are utilized, and lots of finished pieces are4 shown.  The book shows traditional encaustic art examples when it began, all the way up to things that are being done now or can be done.With encaustic art you can rework your piece with heat, yet it remains a lasting piece when done should you decide it is to your liking. If it isn't, the book shows you all the tools you can use to change it via heat, shaving, carving, etc.There pages are heavy gloss and full color and the book is a thick one taking both the beginner and the advanced artists through everything they'd want to discover about the encaustic journey.

    Best Book Ever !!! - Encaustic Art
  

*by D***M on Reviewed in the United States on September 22, 2023*

This book walks you through every kind of technique & material that can be used & incorporated into encaustic wax. From straight wax on substrate to mixed media, photos. sculpting, molds & 3D projects, tools, mark making, paints, pastels, inks. Lots of photos of processes, and images of the vast variety of wonderful, imaginative pieces that a number of artists have created. Love the book! I purchased this based on others positive reviews & would buy again & recommend this book to anyone with an interest in trying their hand at this ethereal, enchantingly addictive art process. I've read a number of other great books on hot wax, but agree, that so far this is truly the "Bible" for encaustic.And thank you to seller HPB, this VG used condition book was like pristine brand new condition!

    Best of all encaustic books I've read!
  

*by B***I on Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2011*

This book is extremely helpful for people  like me who are just starting out in this challenging medium. Encaustic art is having a tremendous boom right now and a great many professional artists are thinking up new ways to develop it.  Encaustics are challenging to neophytes because melting wax is a process that needs a good kitchen, a safe place to melt wax without setting your house or apartment on fire, and safety measures concerning fumes and pigments that contain life-threateninig chemicals.  All these issues are covered in detail.Aesthetically the book is splendid as well; it offers beautiful photos of fascinating work by very  gifted and inventive artists. A reader is made aware of different paths that can be chosen in this mediulmThe instructions are extremely clear, always described in stages, 1, 2, 3, etc.  At the same time, the level of thinking about the artistic side of things is very high.The writer is a talented, generous guide whose writing i'm sure would be admired by the top artists she presents as well as the rest of us!Barbara Guetti
