Kurzbeschreibung
With a history that stretches back to the hauntingly beautiful mummy portraits of Greco-Roman Egypt, encaustic art is now enjoying a renewal of popularity among artists and art lovers alike. Today, museums are staging exhibitions of encaustic art, workshops in the technique are thriving, and art collectors and dealers are assimilating encaustic art into their collections and galleries.
The word encaustic is taken from the Greek and means “to burn in.” In the encaustic process, pigmented wax is applied and then fused to a surface with heat. The result is a broad range of surface effects and a luminous translucency that is unique to the encaustic medium. Encaustic Art is a complete resource for artists who wish to learn to create fine art with wax. It features step-by-step techniques with easy-to-understand instructions and detailed illustrations, stunning examples of encaustic works of art (including sculpture), along with practical advice and thoughtful aesthetic observations from more than 60 professional artists working in the encaustic medium.

Fantastic Encaustic Book
19. August 2010
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
This book is for the beginner as well as the professional encaustic artist. It offers so many ideas and great photos. Many techniques are covered along with a wealth of ideas that I haven't even thought of yet. I am a professional artist and instructor and will definitely recommend this book to my students. There are gallery shots as well as close-up details photos and artists working in their studio. I would love to see a companion book to this one that goes into even more detail on the techniques. Great work Lissa!

The New Encaustic Textbook
30. August 2010
Format:Taschenbuch
If Joanne Mattera's book is the Encaustic Bible Old Testament, Lissa Rankin's Encaustic Art is the New Testament we've all been waiting for. I've bought all of the encaustic books out there, and too many of them are either vague when it comes to technique or focus mostly on the techniques of only one or two artists. This new book distinguishes itself by demonstrating the techniques of many well respected and accomplished artists, in addition to the techniques used by the author. As a textbook, it's clear, concise, easy-to-follow, and comprehensive. But it's more than just a textbook. I'd highly recommend this book to anyone looking to expand the repertoire of their artistic knowledge, those wishing to better understand encaustic, or even for those just looking for new direction in their art.
My one critique is that I think part of my journey as an artist has been learning my technique by trial and error. This book gives so much detail and so many technique options that I wonder if beginners won't be skipping part of the learning process. By using this book, they will likely skip many of the "mistakes" many artists make while trying to create new effects, "mistakes" that often lead down unexpected creative avenues.
That aside, I think the book is wonderful. You won't be sorry if you buy it.

Great book!
12. August 2010
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
This book has it all, beautiful photos, great basic information, and the usual encaustic techniques but it goes much further. Using wax for sculpture, printmaking and much more. The quality of the book is really good too, nice paper and lots of great color photos. If you want to learn the basics, or expand your work in wax, I totally recommend this book. You won't be disappointed.
