Encaustic
I painted this on a bisque (unglazed) tile. That should be the perfect surface for encaustic since it is porous, but I think it's almost too porous. It takes a lot of wax to build up a nice, smooth surface because it keeps sinking into the tile. I like the square shape and I have a couple of boxes of these left over from a previous craft project, so I'll probably use them for encaustic again. I think I will begin with a layer of encaustic gesso next time to control the permeability of the surface.
This turned out really well. To think, wax on tile. Do you have to coat it with anything once it is done so wax doesn't dent to get warm.
