Water Abstract


So before I left for the conference I was prepping my canvas with modeling paste etc. I came back ready to paint. This is what I am working on now. This work is not really original in concept, but I am at the practice painting stage and need a springboard at the moment. This is the piece still in working stage.

Encaustic Conference DAY 1


Here are some images from this mornings workshops. This was the basic encaustic workshop. She provided alot of useful tips and gave the basics of working with the medium. Below see the gridle with wax, some examples like using a stencil to put letters in your piece. I will have to go back and add the names of the workshop presenters later.
The second demo that I saw today was all about working with fibers in wax. She even used those little round makeup pads. By the way these are not art but demo canvas just showing how to attach the fiber with wax and options. You may see below sleeves of garments or tips of socks etc.

June Abstracts!


Working on Abstract work at the moment. See below process- but which way does it go?
It was designed to go the first photo but I think I like the second one better. Is it balanced? What is it? a tree, a flower? Here it is before-
I think I am done with it. I am going to put it away for a few days.
