Something That I Made!
I have been exploring new painting mediums and I was invited by a few friends (Lindsey and Tracy) to visit a very talent local artist’s studio (Julie Smith-Davidson) and play with encaustics.
For those who don’t know, encaustic painting is ancient art of using melted beeswax to paint to which colored pigments are added. The liquid/paste is then applied to a surface—usually prepared wood, though canvas and other materials are often used.
The whole place smelled like honey!
I really enjoy it, even though it doesn’t not give me the same control as acrylic paint does.
I specially admired the way I used scrap pieces of wood that have been lying around the house and transformed into something that I can put on my walls.
This first piece I used one of Mr. Sugar’s pictures added to a piece of wood and craved a few words.
The second one was an attempt to create one more of my wedding dress paintings, but this time, using beeswax.
This piece was created on a piece of left over hardwood floor material. I called it Carpe Diem.
This little cubicle house as been sitting inside closet for awhile and finally gave it a project!
