I can go through several
variations of colors and
textures, but I try and
cater to the audience who
is going to be seeing
it or its final resting
place so to speak. White
burns the best into the
steel and turns into a
cobweb of wax. Once the
structure is hot it is
easy to keep building
or changing the color.
Encaustic coloring

I use a spray bottle
filled with water for
rapid cooling. This
quickly solidifies the wax.
Sometimes I use metal
shavings mixed with melted
wax to give it a molten
look. I found that some
colors are very delicate
and may wipe off by
just touching it. These
are avoided because it
defeats my purpose of the
encaustic protective skin.
