I have been working on this one awhile now - course I have only about one day a week in the studio, so it takes longer. I am really looking forward to retirement and spending more time in my studio!!! (19 working days left!!!)
With this encaustic painting I did the background first and then used one of my own photos embedded into the wax as an underpainting for the pelican.
I isolated the pelican and printed him in black and white onto tissue paper. The tissue paper disappears nicely into the wax and leaves me a nice "drawing" to paint. I use hot pens and several different sizes of tips to paint with the wax.
The painting is 20w by 16 h and framed in a float frame with gold trim. Wired, ready to hang and available on my Etsy shop - Translucent Firefly ( www.translucentfirefly.etsy.com )
Have a great week!!!
