Remember when you used to play with melted wax from candlesticks? This process is like that but way more fun. I had a variety of vats of colored wax, which I poured in a controlled/not controlled fashion onto a sheet of thick paper. After pouring the wax, I manipulated the paper to direct the flow of wax. When it dried (after about a minute) I poured the next color.
Encaustic wax poured on heavy watercolor paper 24 × 18 inches, custom framed to 33× 26 inches in a decorative black frame.
