encaustic class

it's been 2 months since my last class
it was good to be back
i really wasn't sure what to do today
so my teacher suggested working with
the heat gun and a palette knife
to create texture
it was fun just playing
with no real goal in mind
other than to see what can happen!!
two detail areas
on the left i added white oil paint right out
of the tube and then heated it up
cool crackle effect
on the right i got more of a marbling effect

on the second board
i practiced the same technique
adding a few more colours

i can't wait 'til next week to experiment some more!

Great to see you having so much fun! Who is your teacher, I lost the thread on that? This medium has the potential to ruin us all, no I'm just kidding but once hooked it consumes, some say "crippling medium" I say seductive medium. Ok, my wax is ready and I hope to see more soon. Bravo.
