"Eclipse"
Image size 6" x 6"
Encaustic
Although I wasn't motivated to look at the eclipse today, I felt like I needed to acknowledge it in my weekly painting. I did a layer of clear medium followed by a layer of white encaustic and inscribed the circles. Then, I added raw umber oil paint to the circles and background. I wiped most of it off of the flat surface, added turquoise wax and some burnt sienna oil paint. I like how the white wax came through when I fused it.
nicely painted...and the perfect subject for today... I didn't see anything here in New York but was so happy to see all the beautiful photos from blogger friends all over the Country. Again, this is wonderful and I love the colors.

ReplyDeleteThese are very different colors for me to use. I'm not even sure why I chose them, but I do like them together.
