Ampersand
Experimenting
Tuesday/March 04/2014
Before I spend the time to do a large painting, I will do small paintings to work out an idea or method.
Last month I have been expanding my repertoire of media to include scrap-booking paper. Being a non-scrap-booker (is that a word?) I had never paid attention to the array of papers that can be bought, until now. The above painting was created with laying down a coat of Encaustic medium to Ampersand Encaustic Board, then attaching a piece of paper. Using alternate layers of encaustic wax and oil, I created this little landscape of New Mexico (above).
The painting above was created in a similar way, but instead I used markers and washes of oil.
The same with this one...letting the paper show through the transparency of oil and wax.
For this one I used a photograph that was taken by Michael Anaya-Gorman.
