hollyhocks - with encaustic, ifyou don't color in the artwork before you apply the wax, like w colored pencil and then seal it, you can't really "paint" it because the heat gun moves the paint around - hence with these hollyhocks... they were black and white and then I just dabbed some red pastel and then fused it and the paint moved...

Oh right, I understand. Thank you for explaining :)
