How do you prepare for Encaustic work?
While it is possible to make your own encaustic gesso, to prepare your substrate, it can also be a time consuming, messy and expensive process. Homemade encaustic gesso must also be used within a few days as it susceptible to mould growth.
In response to this problem, Matisse has created MM36 High Tooth Gesso (Encaustic). This unique product provides an easy alternative to creating a surface for encaustic painting. Used straight from the container, High Tooth Gesso dries to a white, matte surface that provides much more “bite” than standard gessoes. Although pre-treated encaustic painting boards are available, using Matisse High Tooth Gesso allows the artist to customize the surface sizing of their project and is also more economical.
The techniques and methods for using encaustic are many, and the use of Matisse MM36 High Tooth Gesso caters for them all and imparts the maximum archival benefits to your encaustic artwork
Application
Matisse MM36 High Tooth Gesso is best applied with either a flat brush or roller. A minimum of two coats is recommended to ensure complete coverage.
Drying Time
Subject to atmospheric conditions, allow 1 to 2 hours drying time between coats.
Finish
Matte, bright white with a high-tooth surface. As a comparison, this product has much more tooth than either the Matisse white and black gessoes. It forms a gritty, dry surface.
Clean Up
Clean brushes, paint rollers and hands with warm soapy water.
Encaustic and Substrate
Encaustic painting, also known as “hot wax painting”, refers to the process of mixing melted wax with pigment to create a soft, coloured paint-like blend that can be manipulated with implements and heated metal tools. As most other painting techniques, Encaustic work requires a properly prepared surface to allow the painted layers to adhere successfully to its support.
The wax, mostly beeswax (this type is preferable as Paraffin wax can be brittle when it sets), is heated until it is clear using the double-boiler method (where one small saucepan is placed in another saucepan of water on a stove) or with specialist warming appliances made specifically for this purpose. Pigment is then added. This is in general terms a simple description of an encaustic mixture, but there are several recipes available that may include the addition of damar resin, linseed oil or the use of other waxes. Nowadays, there are commercially pre-blended wax and pigment blocks that only need to be melted before application.
The wax and pigment blend must be kept warm during application, and this is typically done with a warming tray. Although it can be a labour-intensive process, artists who use the encaustic painting technique frequently refer to its texture and luminosity.
However, the encaustic artist faces a unique problem in that typical acrylic gessos do not work particularly well with the wax and pigment blend as surface partially repels the wax. While it is possible to make your own encaustic gesso, it can also be a time consuming, messy and expensive process. A bag of rabbit skin glue crystals need to be soaked overnight, before being added to a whiting/pigment blend and boiled. Once cool, the mixture needs to be strained to ensure that the dried surface will have a smooth tooth. Homemade encaustic gesso must also be used within a few days as it susceptible to mould growth.
