Wax + Paper
Techniques for Combining Handmade Paper and
Encaustic Paint
Many contemporary artists use paper wrapped over
birch panels or paper as a collage element in their
work. In Wax + Paper: Techniques for Combining
Handmade Paper and Encaustic Paint, Michelle
Belto introduces us to hand paper making so that
we can make our own dimensional supports for
encaustic painting.
This is a hands-on book, with clear, visual steps to
making paper supports in the studio with inexpensive
equipment. The first half of the book explores
the many ways paper can be wrapped, glued,
stretched, pulp painted and made into sculpture.
The second half of the book is full of techniques
that can transform these amazing forms into works
of art.
