Art and Wood Burning (Pyrography Art)

Double click on each image to view larger.

I love going to cultural events to take pictures. Sometimes I will take an image from one of my photos and try to replicate them on wood boxes or plaques. Most of my art work is of a Latino Folk Art Style. I use a Pyrography which means "writing with fire" and it is the traditional art of using a heated tip or wire to burn or scorch designs onto natural materials such as wood. Then I paint the images with watercolors, acrylics, colored pencils and markers to fill in the images.

PS. Come visit my store on CafePress!

we are visited your website and with other websites it was good. But we can provide to you the best wood burning pictures which are used by colored pencils (black and white). and we can also do it on rubber, paper and wood with the best quality better than others.
