A great tip for adding the extra finish to encaustic paintings. This video was posted 6 years ago, and the $1 store prices are 1.25 :) Thanks for the Tip

Thank you, Shari for teaching me this wonderful way to paint! I love it and am grateful for your

Thank you Shari! Do you ever use spray finishes to lock in the shine? I often find myself creating pieces that are mixed media and have a fair amount of accretion to them... so shining the bumpy surfaces seems like it wouldn't work.

How soon after completing encaustic over photography can I buff?

I'd like to know how to finish the sides of an encaustic painting, bon a wood cradled pan

Hi. I love ur work! I love the way u explain..thanks.
I have a question. I have and acrilic paint can i add clear wax on top? Thanks

[hastingr]

I forgot the damar in my encaustic paint in my last piece, can I still buff it once it’s cured?

[kenjones]

If I don’t have pantyhose can I use a soft dusting cloth?

[ClaudetteMcDermott]

Will it stay that way? I find once I burnish it will dull again after awhile...

[Spellbound]

Can you use crystal clear resin to stick ok on wax? I want to do a painting with a wax finish but top it with a resin layer. Would this work ok do you think? XTibbyX
