I just participated in an encaustic workshop. I have never used this medium before, but I thought I would try something new.
For my first piece, we coated the board with four layers of encausti and experimented with melting through the different layers and creating patterns.
For the next piece, i was experimenting with the same techniques.
Next we experimented with creating lines and sharp edges with tape and string.
For this piece, I experimented with an image transfer and using pages from a book.
This piece uses techinques for building up encaustic in 3D.
This is my first large piece (9"x12"). I created a stencil out of tape for the man holding the umbrella.
This is my second large piece. I was experimenting with dripping the wax and cutting into the piece.
