One of the new techniques I researched about is called Encaustic wax. This involves wax blocks/crayons being smeared over a warm metal plate. The wax then melts almost suddenly giving you time to create textured effects. As creating texture is one of my aims, I was really interested in developing this technique further. Also the process of this technique is very relaxing and soothing - this is a BONUS!
Below is an example of the encaustic wax technique I recently researched.
samples were created on white paper and blue roll. The card worked best as the detail of the texture shows more clearly. In comparison to the blue roll which was least successful, the detail got absorbed up but still showed the chosen colours.
