"At The Shore"
Image Size 8" x 8"
Encaustic
Here is another encaustic with a shellac burn. On this one I only put the shellac on the bottom portion. This is an abstracted wave (in case you can't tell) and I thought the shellac burn would make a nice texture for the sand area.
I am quite untutored in some of these complex mediums but I can tell you that the effect you have got is wonderful. The waves are a natural and the shore line is intriguing. Great job Nancy.
ReplyDeleteThank you Asit.
DeleteThis is incredible, Nancy. Love the way the sand looks.
ReplyDeleteAnd the wave is very realistic and yet painterly. I hope you do more of this encaustic paintings...So unique.!!!
Thanks Hilda. I'm heading to the studio in a few minutes to start another one.
DeleteWow, Nancy, the water looks fantastic! This is definitely a successful encaustic piece!
ReplyDeleteThank you Kathleen.

DeleteWow Nancy, that is just gorgeous! What an amazing process!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Gail. It is a really fun process.
DeleteDear Nancy - I am really enjoying these Encaustic works. Gorgeous colors and really captures the essence of the water. Thanks for sharing. Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteThank you Debbie.
DeleteNo problem knowing it was waves. This process makes the sand look terric, mix of sand and rock. You are lighting it up!! (Pun intended). Better with the torch this time?
ReplyDeleteI'm still not using a torch but lighting the shellac on fire was less intimidating this time.
DeleteI love the effect you are getting with the burn and it works really well contrasted with the wave. Nice!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Joan. I'm looking forward to trying another encaustic. I'm going big next time - and mixing with oil paint. I'm so excited to try this next one....
