Page 30 - Creating Whimsical Characters Using Simple Wood and Paper Forms, Wire, Paperclay, and Encaustic Medium

Anvil 3/4 in Mini Spring Clamp - For clipping to tins as a

handle and brush holder. Use needle nose pliers to remove the
vinyl from the tips. NOTE: Do NOT remove vinyl from handles.

R&F Encaustic Gesso - For painting a base coat on paperclay
sculptures before painting with encaustic medium.

Encaustic Medium - I usually buy 5 or 10 lb bags of Encaustic
Medium and 1 lb bags of White Beeswax (which I sometime add

to encaustic medium to dilute the ratio of damar resin).

Glazing Colors (Enkaustikos Color Chart) - Heavily dilute
pigment with encaustic medium.

• Bohemian Green Earth - Heavily diluted and less diluted for
adding rich colors.

• Bohemian Orange - Heavily diluted. Adds warmth/glow.
• Cerulean Blue - Thin glaze over white makes beautiful
fountain sprays.

• Cobalt Aqua - Heavily diluted and less diluted for adding rich

colors.
• Cobalt Violet - Heavily diluted and less diluted for adding rich
colors.

• ltalian Golden Ochre - Heavily diluted.
• Titanium White - Brighter white. Heavily diluted when using

as a glaze to soften colors.
• Ultramarine Rose - Heavily diluted and less diluted for adding

rich colors.
• Viridian - Heavily diluted. Combine with layers of Cobalt Aqua

for richer color.
• Vagone Green Earth

• Zinc White - Softer white. Thin glaze on top softens colors.

Enkaustikos Hot Sticks sets for Metallics, Opals, and
Interference - For accents and sparkle.
