Photo Encaustic

Pigment Inkjet Photo Print, Acid Free Paper, Encaustic Medium, Cold Wax & Oil Paint

F.A.Q
What is Photo Encaustic?
Photo Encaustic is a mixed-media technique that combines photography and encaustic painting. It involves applying hot beeswax & damar resin (encaustic medium) over a photographic image, to add texture and depth to the image. 
                                                                                                       
How is Roseanne's Photo Encaustic artwork created?                                                                                                 
Roseanne prints her own inkjet pigment photographic image onto acid free paper and then mounts onto board using acid free glue. Once the print has been mounted, she melts down encaustic medium, then brushes the hot encaustic medium onto the mounted print. The next step is the mark making using sculpting tools to create the contrast between smoothness and texture. Then a mix of oil paint and cold wax is rubbed on, left for a few minutes then rubbed off. The textured areas will retain the oil paint & cold wax mixture. The work is left to dry after this process. 

Are the Photo Encaustic works one of a kind?
Roseanne's Photo Encaustic Artworks are Open Edition, this is reflected in the price. However all works are unique as the finish cannot be replicated due to the unique handcrafted wax textured surface.

Does Roseanne use her own photographs?                                                         
Yes, she uses all her own original photographs. Roseanne's photographs are taken in her home city of Christchurch, New Zealand and the Canterbury regions. You can view her full range of prints here >>

Are works labeled on the back and can they be displayed on a shelf?
Yes, all works are labeled on the back that includes; title, year created, medium and artist handwritten signature. The small framed works have an easel back so can be displayed on a shelf or table. 

How do you care for a Photo Encaustic Artwork (without glass)?                                  
To clean artwork, wipe gently with a soft, lint free cloth. Do not hang on a wall or display on a shelf that gets direct sunlight. Take care when storing or transporting works, as the surface can get scratched and damaged.
