Ocean encaustics

 Hallo,
  Popping in today to show you a big painting I just finished off. This one is 24 inches wide by 36 inches tall.
  There are a lot of layers on this one - starting with a base of about 4 layers of encaustic wax and then a layer of oil sticks which is the first picture here.
  I then added some bronze mica powders to shellac and did a shellac burn. Added pan pastels and fused, more pastels, fused, a layer of wax.....
  All total there is about 3 layers of shellac, pastels and then clear wax, then I added some ink and one more layer of pan pastels, shellac and a final layer of clear wax...…
    The side are finished in black encaustic.
   All for today but a couple more post coming up as I did several in this series and colors - working them all at once (cooling times inbetween make working several at once easier)
   Take Care
      Tera
