Comments About Embracing Encaustic
"We are very impressed with Embracing Encaustic for the clarity of the photos that show the demonstrations, and the fact that there are incredible examples of artwork by many contemporary artists. These examples show a fantastic array of styles—Linda and William Womack have chosen both abstract AND representational work, proving that encaustic is truly a versatile medium that can be used for abstract representationalism and very detailed realism."

"Congratulations on the publication of your wonderful book! I am so impressed and well, just wowed, by all the information you've included and by the breathtaking art examples. I feel a little humbled realizing that I have just begun to tap the possibilities of encaustic, but also very, very inspired! Congratulations on a gorgeous book and thanks for sharing your information, knowledge, and vision!

"You really knocked my socks off! The paintings in your book are beautiful and above all there is clarity. You don't leave out basic information that can leave the reader stymied. It was the bane of my search to find a book that wrote clearly HOW to do this, but you have succeeded. The color and richness of the pictures not only illustrate the points but they inspire! BRAVO.

"I received your book today and it is outstanding. I have been looking for a book that simply gave instructions, techniques, and ideas and your book fulfilled all of my expectations. Thank you so much!"
