Party at Picchu

Hallo,

   Another of one of the paintings I finished off this weekend in the studio. Both yesterdays and todays paintings are 11 by 14 and will be framed in black float frames.

  First pic here is the finished painting.

  Second pic is the 2 cyanotypes I used - glued to the board and ready to go.

  I then colored the lamas and Machu Picchu with colored pencils and a bit of gold watercolor. I then added several layers of encaustic.

  I printed out the lamas again onto tissue paper and colored them with pencils and embedded them into the encaustic to make them stand out a bit more.

   I used stencils and oil sticks with the encaustic to add some texture and then a fine tip hot pen to add the fence line in.

                                                                                           All for today - Take Care

Monastery Lamas

Hallo,

   I spent alot of time in my studio this last weekend and this was one of the paintings I worked on.

  First pic is the finished painting.

   Second picture is how this painting began - I used 2 photos from my trip to Peeru in March and turned them into transparencies and made up a couple cyanotypes and combined them.

  I then colored up the Church and the lamas with colored pencils. (pics 3 and 4).

  I added a few layers of encaustic and then added lamas back in over the top of the initial ones to make them stand out a bit more. I printed the lamas onto tissue paper and colored them with pencils before embedding them into the encaustic.

   Then I added some texture with stencils to the church, the left part of the sky and in the grass around the lamas.

   The last 2 pics are the finished painting again.

      All for today.

         Take Care
