What size do these print at?

Each image is drawn square (832×832) with an even margin — prints clean at any size, from a small frame to a large square canvas.

Can I use my own subject instead of the three shown?

Yes — the direction field takes your own idea, such as a moon or a coastline map, and the same three surfaces draw it.

What's the difference between the three surfaces?

Milky layers is the classic translucent fused look; scraped reveals earlier colours through scored lines and ridges; collage embeds paper or leaf shapes under the wax.

Is this a photograph of a real wax panel?

These are images drawn in the encaustic tradition — not photographs of an actual wax panel.

Reading 2Wax horizon

Reading 3Embedded leaves

Encaustic fuses pigment into molten beeswax: translucent layers, a scraped-back surface, a milky depth no other medium has. These nine render a layered abstract panel, a minimal wax horizon and a botanical with embedded leaves, each as milky fused layers, scraped-and-scored wax, or wax collage. Ask for a moon or a coastline map instead and the same three surfaces redraw it.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
