What artists are saying about this DVD:


I've thoroughly enjoyed Wax Twist; Cari Hernandez's informative video on mixed media encaustic techniques. Cari walks you though these more advanced techniques step by step; she's thoughtful, patient and generous. Her ideas on color, 3-D forms and altered imagery will send you straight to the studio. I couldn't wait to get working! Thanks Cari. - Mary Farmer


I really love your DVD.  I have taken two one-day workshops with you and was astounded about how much  information I had assumed I would remembered --  but was amazed had I forgotten.   The DVD is as if I am taking a nine day workshop with you.  Exhausting, really!   Reviewing it has revitalized and inspired me to look beyond the norm and the  obvious encaustic techniques.  I have created my first "altered book"  and am actually loving it.   So many ideas, so little time.....Each time I play WaxTwist I am reminded of something more I can do.... -Anne Smidt


In the DVD WAX Twist, Cari Hernandez goes beyond what information is traditionally offered in other DVDs and books on the subject. This really is a great next step for artist working in the medium who know the basics, but are looking for other ideas and techniques. From printing on silks and tissue paper to making an artist book with encaustics, this DVD helps get the creative juices flowing and makes you want to get into your studio asap and start working. - Sarah Rehmer


Cari shares her "magic touch" with us as she manipulates the wax...it is mesmerizing to watch the way she swirles the paint on to the panels. This DVD is very well produced and you can expect to learn a great deal from watching Cari, even if you already have experience with encaustics. -Elaine Weeks
