This is one of the largest encaustic paintings I've ever attempted, and so different from anything I've ever done before. I usually work small, in colors like white, black and brown. I'll add lots of colors sometimes, but always with ink, never with colored wax.
Well, I decided it was time to try a variety of colored wax and just one color of shellac burn, instead of the other way around.
It was really fun working in a larger format- I got to slap wax around, I used my blow torch instead of my heat gun, and I just loved watching all the colors blend together the way they did. I'm really pleased with this "sunset". What do you think?
