Yes I understand limited space

But You asked me”I just want to ask you again if you have a good idea of the beginning pages of the video.” CHK

This is my suggestion for first video talking in my studio and second video talking about painting processes .

You can use this transcript from video

These artworks are primarily with beeswax.This technique is "encaustic".It is paint made
with colour pigment melted into beeswax.
This example is also beeswax with charcoal.
These paintings are done on wood substrate not canvas.
These mix of paintings are oil paint using cold wax medium painted on wood.
This canvas was originating from CHK highlighting our connection for many years.
These other paintings are different types of paints used, such as oil and acrylic, noting
that encaustic painting involves a combination of wax and oil.

The Information you want for the first video ( in studio and talking with you) are these two .

Artists Processes

Encaustic Hot Wax Painting

Encaustic is a wax based paint composed of beeswax, resin and pigment, that
is kept liquid and molten on a heated palette. The cleaned beeswax is melted
with damar (tree) resin so the wax will harden. The wax paint is colored by
mixing in oil colors or dry color pigments. It is applied while melted to a
porous surface such as wood.
It is then and then reheated with a direct flame in order to fuse the paint
in layers as a painter would do using regular paint.

Encaustic painting is an ancient technique used by the Egyptians for mummy
portraits in 100-300 AD and by the Greeks for murals and it is as versatile
as any 21st century medium.
Encaustic is also the most durable artists' paint. This is due to the fact
that beeswax is impervious to moisture. Because of this, it will not
deteriorate, it will not yellow, and it will not darken.The translucency of
the wax layers and depth of colour I can achieve with hot wax is similar to
my works in watercolour.I have been producing both representational and
abstraction which encaustic is naturally suited to.

Cold Wax and Oil Painting

Cold wax is a painting medium made with beeswax and resin mixed with solvent.
Cold wax medium makes oil colors thicker, creamier and more matte. Unlike
encaustic, heat is not required for working with this wax medium as it dries
by solvent evaporation, rather than the cooling of the wax. Similar to
encaustic I enjoy the experimentation, texture and the physicality of the
paint layers and the density, almost impasto qualities, as well as the
marvelous translucency the wax provides.
I have worked with encaustic painting on wood and watercolor on plastic paper
for years. Cold wax presented itself as an expressive medium where I can take
an experimental approach using my existing skill. The working properties
allow for great play using all sorts of mark making, texture imprinting, brush
marks, and the ability to carve into paint layers with palette knives. Cold
Wax also gives oil colors a beautiful translucent quality, similar to the
encaustic.
