Detail of Icarus Was Too Big for His Britches.
You can see an example of the texture in the finished project in this photograph.
One of the reasons I am so attracted to encaustic work is the insane impulse I have to touch the art after it is finished! While this project was not truly encaustic, I did play with beeswax and sealing wax. If you are interested in doing it, what ever you do, do not expect the detail of your painting or drawing come out clear and vivid. The wax does a lot of interesting stuff to the stuff beneath it.
Ever since the beginning of memory, I drew, painted, and crafted. As a child, above our family couch was a painting of lush woods and trail leading to a cottage house. I followed the trail with my mind’s eye and invented a family that lived in the cottage. Sometimes I would ”sit“ under a painted tree and imagine the world of the painting. My orientation shifted, I was no longer sitting on the couch, I was under the artfully rendered tree. This was the beginning of a love affair with art.
