Encuatic Art For Sale in Gallery 7517

We just added our first Encaustic Art to www.gallery7517.com

If you are not familiar with encuastic art work.

Encaustic painting, also known as hot wax painting, involves using heated beeswax to which colored pigments are added. The liquid/paste is then applied to a surface—usually prepared wood, though canvas and other materials are often used. The simplest encaustic mixture can be made from adding pigments to beeswax, but there are several other recipes that can be used — some containing other types of waxes, damar resin, linseed oil, or other ingredients. Pure, powdered pigments can be purchased and used, though some mixtures use oil paints or other forms of pigment.

Metal tools and special brushes can be used to shape the paint before it cools, or heated metal tools can be used to manipulate the wax once it has cooled onto the surface. Today, tools such as heat lamps, heat guns, and other methods of applying heat allow artists to extend the amount of time they have to work with the material. Because wax is used as the pigment binder, encaustics can be sculpted as well as painted. Other materials can be encased or collaged into the surface, or layered, using the encaustic medium to adhere it to the surface.

We are proud to Present the work of AJ Grossman to our roster. Her encuastic work is soft and beautiful.

Patti thinks, because she worked for Hanna Barbera and Disney, that she is a better artist than most! Yes, she is credited on The Little Mermaid, Once Upon A Forest, Oliver & Company, The Jetsons, The Flintstones, Smurfs, Power Puff Girls, and countless others... but who isn't? Since 1999, Patti paints and Kelly forms the vision and words on each canvas. It is beyond cool and is collected by celebrities, forest rangers, and pediatricians. We would list them all alphabetically, but, we don't kiss and tell.

All Patty works are Original On Gallery Wrapped Canvas
