encaustic class

the next evolution in my quest for

learning about texture

we decided to experiment with food

rice, pasta, sesame seeds, rosemary and loose tea

it was fun adding these elements to the wax

some embedded and some on top

detail of the above work

i painted the the whole surface with a taupe wax

then added in some green, ochre and browns

here is a close up of the black tea

added on top

mostly seeds

----------------

my second canvas was more mono chromatic

you can really see the food

if you look real close you can see some the sesame seeds

rice and small bits of spaghetti
plus some discarded bristles from my brush
