encaustic class

i'm feeling under the weather

so today's project was something familiar

i've done this project in the past

and have many people wanting to purchase the original

but since it is one of my first and like a baby

i decided to try replicating it using a different image

a sheet of text covered in clear wax

with a photo transfer of a tree on top

layers of white wax to create some texture

i used painters tape to make the grid of squares and rectangles

added black oil paint and mineral spirits to highlite the texture
