Hi Robin,
There are many ways to paint or embed a delicate image or pattern- inlay, or intarsia, painting directly with the wax, or inscribing and filling with oil paint. I use all of these methods for different situations in different paintings. Play around with it, and you’ll find something that works in your own work… and welcome to encaustic painting!

I love your work. I am new to encaustics and am wondering how you achieve the crochet effect in the wax? Beautiful. Robin

Lisa,
I love your blog and wanted to hear how the big piece is going. What are some of the challenges of working at that scale?
Thanks!
