Well, I melted my wax and away I went. I was a little over generous at the beginning as when it dried I couldn't actually see the pic anymore! still, I guess you have to do it to know it
I used my mini quilting iron to smooth out the wax, I really enjoyed this part, revealing the picture and the paint underneathI love the depth it gives to the canvas
Photographic evidence that it looked ok before I 'waxed' it!

this piece is beautiful. I love how the wax looks, I just purchased the book "encaustic workshop" by patricia seggebrush. hoping to do a little experimenting!
Beautiful canvas! I'd never guess that you over did it in the beginning. Nice salvage job!
