Make a smooth surface with Encaustic paint
I’m in the middle of making a grid
painting. The painting will be made up of 25 encaustic color blocks. This
painting is designed to hang on what is known as a French cleat system, which
ensures that the painting will hang level. Because each painting is hung
individually, it is also possible to change the arrangement of the panels in
the painting, which would in turn change the painting as a whole.
I was recently listening to a
Charlie Rose interview with the painter Damian Herst. They were discussing
Herst’s most recent work, “The Polka-Dots.” As you may know, Mr. Herst does not
paint his own pictures, and the only exceptions he gives to his assistants that
do the painting is to not have two of the same color next to each other, and
have the colors be chosen at random. Herst merely acknowledged one of his
assistants when they pointed out that it would be more random to actually have
two dots of the same color next to each other. That comment, got me thinking, and I designed this painting,
to give the viewer control of the of the color placement, working within
guidelines set by me.

This is the company that I bought the beeswax and damar resin from. I bought the materials a few years ago, and I remember that 60 pounds was the minimum order.
