Custom Encaustic Photography
April Love Photography offers custom encaustic photography art pieces. This ancient technique of encaustic painting is a technique that uses beeswax and damar resin as a medium to create paintings or mixed media photography. The encaustic medium is fused with fire or heat to blend the layers together.
Each custom piece of art will include one of your personal photographs mounted on or transferred to wood. Occasionally I will incorporate other mediums such as oil paints, Pan Pastel, or colored pencil to enhance certain features of the photograph. Then layers of encaustic medium will be painted and fused over your photograph giving it a textured and ethereal effect.
Each art piece is handmade and unique. I can use one of your own photos (you must retain copyright - ask me if you aren't sure) or one that I have taken for you.
Encaustic photos make the perfect gift!
Encaustic Care:
Encaustic paintings are very durable, however I recommend displaying them out of direct sunlight and avoiding extreme temperatures. When transporting, cover the face of the painting in wax paper. Do not use bubble wrap directly on the painting as it may leave an imprint on the surface.
