Hungarian Poppies - Encaustic Work In Progress

I'd like to share here a step by step development about my latest encaustic work. I combined here the hot-wax method, with the electric tools: encaustic iron, encaustic-pen and hot-air gun, but the fine details were painted by the new medium: AQWAX, using brushes and water and it worked wonderful.

I could make layers over the original hot-wax, without a risk, that it would melt. This new medium opens new perspective in encaustic, because very pleasant and easy to work with.
The support: canvas-board, size: 12 x 16", or 30 x 40 cm.
High quality, limited edition prints and greeting cards are available.

So How it started:

Transparency

This is my second try to test the new medium: Aqwax. The background here was made by hot-wax, using iron + hot-air gun, the butterfly was painted by Aqwax. It is a joy to use this new medium, Try to go bigger size now...

Butterfly

This is the first, little piece trying the new medium: AQWAX. It works wonderful, very easy to work with: it is a combination of watercolor, oil and encaustic, having all the benefits of the other mediums. I'll make a bigger one now, combine with the regular waxes. It is a joy to paint with this. I used Aquaboard from Ampersand as a support.

Rex - My first children's book illustrations

This was made 10 years ago in Vienna, Austria. That time there was a very successful criminal series on TV, in the main role a dog, called Rex. This small story was created for kids, about Rex and his childhood.I tried to portray the real Rex...

Encaustic demo

Well, the demo was very successful, the kids loved encaustic, one girl repeated more times: "It is amazing that you do here"...made me smile...I hope some of them want to take classes at my studio, too.
Here are some photos about the demonstration.

Sorry for the reflections...
