Seeing Red

Seeing Red
Image Size 8" x 8"
Encaustic

I started with a red color painted on the surface and then built the other colors on top of it.  About halfway through, I did a shellac burn.  Layering more encaustic over that created an interesting texture.  After I was happy with the overall effect, I did one more shellac burn diagonally to bring in some of that warm amber color and a bit more texture.  

I think it looks a bit like a piece of stone.

  1. Bonjour chère amie,

    J'aime beaucoup ce rendu de couleurs qui se croisent pour mieux se mélanger ou se séduire...

  2. Wouldn't that make an awesome counter top if it were real stone? Very beautiful colors and patterns!
