Wax on Wednesdays is Back !

Back after a busy summer ! 

Lots of dance and some fun with friends for Ms. Reagan and ABSTRACTED workshop fun for me .

Today is the first day of school for ms. Reagan which made it perfect timing for an all new Wax on Wednesdays !

These last few weeks were also spent helping Ms. Reagan with her summer projects for school including 4 art projects. She chose encaustic for all 4 of them ! ( I did not influence the decision at all I promise you ) . These are what she created. She had to do a still life, and a portrait, for 2 of them . I will post the others next week. I was just present in the back ground for safety, and any technical questions that needed answering .

Excavating the Color Within 

Ok, now on to some wax on Wednesdays fun with all new techniques for you !

This weeks project was done with over 45 layers of wax. 

Each layer was fused after it was added. It takes some patience, but well worth it when it come time to carve back in to all of that beautiful color. 

Supplies I used this week:

10x10 birch cradled board

encaustic medium 

Handmade encaustic paint

natural brushes

heat gun 

clay scrapers
