Pyrographic Art – The Process  
 Pyrography-the art process of burning images into wood or leather by use of a heated tool.

1.The art process begins with inspiration-when my ideas and study of the wood grain come together.

preparing the wood for the pyrographic process
2. After finding the wood and developing the concept for a piece, wood preparation is the next step.

3. Once the wood is prepared I begin work on the sketch. Composition issues are worked out here so the grain of the wood works for rather than against me.

4. With the sketch well underway I begin burning the image with my pyro tool. This is slow and tedious as no changes or corrections can be made after burning.

5.Sometimes color is applied to a piece and for this I use prismacolor pencils. These pigments can be made permanent by burning them into the wood.

 pyrographic process continues with applying color to the wildlife images on the wood and burning the image into the wood

6. Finishing – a fixative is used on pieces with color, then tung oil or laquer or a combination of the two. Finally a matt finish to reduce the glare is used.
