I have had so much going on in the studio lately I have not been able to keep up with my computing! I'm posting a little encaustic work I did awhile ago to keep things moving until I can post more of my process-oriented articles. I have two new large-scale sepia toned pastels I am in the process of finishing right now, as well as a brand spanking new don't-brush-up-against it oil painting. Another large oil painting on the easel as well--like I said, lots to do, lots to do!
This little encaustic is about 9x12. Encaustic is one of the oldest media, combining pigment with beeswax. It is a fascinating mercurial pursuit, combining all of the elements in exciting and sometimes infuriating ways... (will talk more about studio accidents later... actually that could be its own blog.)
Now get off the computer and go draw something!
