Encaustic
I love how this little encaustic came together. The ethereal feeling of this painting is much stronger in person and I'm not sure it could be achieved with any other medium. I painted shellac on the rusty color and burned it to get the texture. I like the soft, misty feeling of the sky next to the texture of the earth.
I really need to get back to watercolors but can't seem to turn down the heat on encaustics.
The colors are just so stunning, Nancy! Like a sparkling pile of jewels on the land portion and I agree wholeheartedly with you on the sky!
ReplyDeleteThis is really cool. You get results that I agree could not be done with other media. Oh the color, the texture and the mood, it has it all!
