| The final stages before applying the encaustic medium include gluing the print to the prepared panel, then trimming the print. I began with a straight knife but soon discovered a rotary blade made the difference between an "ok" but time consuming cut and an amazingly clean, fast cut. | |||||||

The bottom photos show one of the large panels after the print was glued, then after it was trimmed and resin applied. I used resin instead of encaustic medium for the larger "After Midnight" prints, which were printed for me by Tyler Boley. The smaller panel prints were printed in my studio. I soon hope to print my own larger format prints but for now I'm limited to 17" wide.
You can view some of Tyler Boley's Fine Art Photography here.
The links to the galleries are at the top.
Installation shots of some of the panels available here. The biggest lesson learned... after fusing encaustic with the heat gun, the gun stays very hot after you turn it off... |
