SEASCAPE mixed media

8x10 encaustic mixed media seascape on board. I have really been all over the place lately! Tags and now back to encaustics (wax) painting and acrylic.
I love the wax medium, you really don't know what you will get. Alot of surprizes!

I am going to an art day with friends today and will be making more art tags.....we will all be doing something different! Hope you are having a great day, perhaps an art day too???

Well have fun! XO Susan

Floral Still life,Encaustic

9x12 encaustic on panel

Another painting using beeswax and pigments. I use a heat gun to paint with, moving it around as I add pigment. No paintbrush! Very different, but of course fun!

Sharon Furner ( please see Sharons web site at Fine Art America)wrote to me about encaustic painting. I haven't played with encaustic for a while. Beeswax mixed with damar with pigment added. It is an ancient medium. Heat is used in some form ( I use a heat gun) to make the wax melt and allow you to paint. I thought it would be fun to put put this up for todays work.
