Reflections


Hallo,

  A couple new paintings for you today - 2 small 8 by 8 inch encaustic paintings.

   A bit of shellac with india ink and some gold leaf foil along with the encaustic.

   Trying to do a few pieces with minimal color palette and some white space.

   All for today - Take Care

       Tera

Mirror, mirror

Hallo,

  Another encaustic mixed media collage for you today and I used the same main image and mostly the same papers as yesterdays.

   This painting is 10H by 8W and I finished the sides also with gold paint.

   The first pic today is just of the collage and the second pic is the final version with encaustic and the faux ivory encaustic, gold leaf and the same ribbon as I used yesterday.

  All for now - Take Care

1923

Hallo,

   Back with more fun from my 'Painting with Fire ' classes. Todays painting combines 2 classes - a class on collage and a class on faux looks - in this case faux ivory.

   The main image is from a needlecraft magazine from 1923 from my long hoarded stash (although I did take photos first and saved them to my computer) and then various pretty papers - including some graphite rubbings onto rice paper and coated with wax from a You tube video by Shari Repole.

  Added several layers of wax and then did the faux ivory technique with encaustic, walnut ink and a bit of gold leaf. Used an Art deco type stencil that I thought fit well with the 1920's picture and then another stencil to frame the '1923'

  This painting is 20H by 16 W and I have finished the sides with metallic gold paint(nonencaustic).

   The second pic is the collage portion before I started adding encaustic.

                                                                             All for today - Take Care
