This is my encaustic painting. Which I'm also trying to show the idea of nightlife within. So it contains bats, the moon and darker sky. I used the color scheme of violet, dark blue, Parma violet(lighter sky color), and green. I used bees-wax for most of it had to define the bats with ink however. I am very proud of this actually. Turned out better than i was expecting. I had trouble defining the bats mostly. It's very hard to define an object using the wax medium.
This is pretty cool, is that supposed to be a body of water beneath it?
ReplyDeleteI think it would have been better if you used some of the tools to create a better texture in the bottom half of the piece (it's pretty much the best thing about encaustics).
Yes it is suppose to be a body of water. I tried to use the tools but it would blend the colors together so badly when it melted that it all just turned one color instead of applying texture to it.
