encaustic class

i seems like it has been a really long time since my last class

8 weeks feels like a year ago

i didn't have any projects in mind

just thought i would experiment

i found a bag of egg shells sitting on my desk

i'm sure i saved them for a reason

so i brought them to class

working on a small canvas i added one of my photos
using the egg shells as a frame and

adding white wax in between

and a little green and raw umber oil paint to highlight the texture

-----------

now that i figured out how it get the shells to stay in the wax

i will try this again next week on a larger scale
