With all these methods, once the adhesive has dried a layer of encaustic must then be applied over the paper and fused. This paper delivers high quality prints on a silk surface, more difficult to scan than other surfaces, providing further protection for the photographer beyond. Some basic methods for embedding paper into an encaustic piece include using clear encaustic medium, gel medium, and adhesives, such as contact cement or archival glues. When running through conventional converting lines, Sylvicta can be foil-stamped, glued, embossed, printed in offset. The result is a paper with a barrier to oxygen, aroma, mineral oils and fatty foodstuffs. The approach the artist chooses depends on the paper used in the collage or the type of paper on which the photograph is printed. Through fiber refining, Arjowiggins R&D teams developed the translucent paper with a natural bonding, without using any harmful chemicals. The image is then burnished directly onto the warm layer of wax and the toner is transferred and fused.Īdditional techniques illustrated by the artworks in this section are specific methods for securing both paper and a photograph onto, or into the art piece. Another method is printing a photograph, again using a laser or Xerox printer, onto a piece of ordinary kitchen parchment. The methods for transferring vary, the most common being what is called a “paper transfer.” In this technique a photo is printed on copy paper using a laser or Xerox printer, and through a process of wetting the back of the paper, and carefully removing it, the toner from the print is transferred to the wax surface and then fused. In this technique, a photo is transferred onto wax that has recently been fused and is warm to the touch. Many encaustic artists using photography employ a transfer process as a way to seamlessly incorporate photography into their work. The collaged image is a photograph, such as a black and white print, color photocopy, digital photocopy, or ink jet copy.

Sometimes flipping your vellum over and printing the. Not all vellum brands are the same on both sides. The same is true with printing one side of vellum vs.

The encaustic/wax photo collage is more straightforward. Sometimes all your print coverage, feed and jam issues can be solved by simply turning your vellum 90 degrees and feeding it through your printer in a different direction. Some used simple paper cut-outs, stickers, newsprint, and ink jet prints in their work.

The artists in this section used a wide variety of papers, such as lightweight tissue, Japanese silk paper, rice paper, and hand-made paper. Artists who incorporate the use of encaustic/wax and paper into their paintings are working in a style referred to as encaustic/wax collage or photo collage. In most cases, artists who either worked with paper in diverse ways or were primarily photographers created the artworks presented on this page.
