I still have not discovered a way to get good photos of my encaustic work. There is always a shine spot & no matter how hard I try I can't seem to figure it out. I guess I need some photography lessons.
I was hooked as soon as I saw that they were showing techniques in the book using encaustic medium. This is my first piece exploring with plaster. I really love the texture but its damn messy stuff. I haven't been able to bring out fabric in my studio while any plaster is in the works. Oh...if only I had a studio conducive to my eclectic ways....with work stations to fix my artistic appetite.
Leah, this looks fabulous. I keep meaning to try encaustic...there are just so many things I want to do!
ReplyDeleteThanks Linda. I'm drawn to encaustic and I wanted to try something a little different. I also have too many things that I want to do...I'm booking up the afterlife.
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful post … when I was painting, encaustic was something I yearned for! Thank you for sharing, Barbara (from Burlington Fibre Arts Group)
ReplyDeleteWow Leah, This is fabulous! You have inspired me to pull out my encaustic supplies and give it a go! And can i tell you?..I'm a huge fan!
ReplyDeleteJackie...you've given me the first smile of the day. Thanks so much for commenting positively. You should get out those supplies. I'm just a beginner with encaustic but I have been bitten and can't shake off how much I love it.
