Finished off this painting yesterday in the studio and turned it in for a show at our local Arts and Design Society - the theme is 'Van Gogh' . Although I don't remember Van Gogh painting aspens, I tried to capture his colorful brushstrokes that so many of his landscapes are famous for.
One of the nice thing about encaustics is the fast 'drying ' time. it only has to cool. Encaustic will continue to cure - as in harden and become more durable in the first 6 months to a year after it was initially painted.
ALl for me today - was in the studion again for a few hours today - starting a 3D encaustic mixed media project involving - a big piece of driftwood, paperclay, paper, an old glass bottle and of course encaustic. Look for that project in a couple weeks.....
Have a great week!!!
