Encaustic Scraping

Scraping is a technique some artists use with encaustic to reveal the history of layers and colors in their painting. This demo video was inspired by artist and R&F Tier Artist Instructor Lorraine Glessner who writes a wonderful blog called Art Bite. Here's a link to her original post on scraping: https://lorraineglessner.wordpress.com/2018/07/25/encaustic-paintsmash-basic-scraping-methods/ Materials used in this demo include: R&F encaustic paint, Ampersand Encausticbord, a pear shaped loop tool, a Sculpture House wax scraper, and a razor blade.
