This piece has a base of watercolor crayons, which I hadn’t heard of before and was excited to try. The colors are weak though, and they do not paint well either, so oil pastels are layered on top, which are then scratched away using fingernails and pottery tools.

$750.00 framed

Branching Out
Friday, March 20th, 2009
Branching Out and Conifer, each 6H x 6W x 2D inches Encaustic, side surfaces also done.
Encaustic is designing/painting with beeswax. I’m not usually intimidated by trying any new medium, but wax is so unique and there are so many possibilities for it, I was a little overwhelmed when I took an introductory course with Deanna Wood. She offers her students workshop days where they can use her supplies to continue experimenting with the medium. Although I’d love to have my own supplies to work at home, the encaustic process is so messy, not to mention expensive to get started, so that is a generous offer. Today’s studio work produced 4 small encaustic paintings, and 2 are successful. Compared to other media, wax is so versatile it can be scraped off to whatever degree, reworked, layered, carved and manipulated as much or as long as you wish. It’s a lot of fun!
