Encaustics! by the international artist Bela Fidel provides detailed instruction on a variety of techniques in Encaustics, as well as detailed information on materials, equipment, safety precautions, suppliers, etc. This information has been gathered throughout years of practice and will save the student a great deal of research time. It covers types of supports, paper, wood, containers and time-saving tips. When in possession of this trove of information, the student can then devote all of his/her time to the practice of this timeless medium rather than spending precious time trying to find out everything that's needed for a successful practice.
"Encaustics!" also brings short demos on a few Encaustic techniques such as Collage, Stencils, Stamps, Lines and Grooves, thus providing visual instruction as well.
At the beginning of her practice, Bela Fidel did not have the benefit of this information and spent a great deal of time researching, gathering information, finding reliable sources. Having gone through the many frustrations and time consuming searches, she has compiled this information with a view to aid those who wish to enhance their creativity with this amazing medium.
