Encaustic Painting 2012 Art 4

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.

Encaustic Collage 2012 Art 4

My theme is nightlife; which my goal was to show in my Encaustic Collage. I tried to portray this with the combination of trees, dark figures in the background, and the moon. I used a textured white piece for the moon a frilly piece of cloth around the moon. Newspaper and magazine pieces. Also used scrap-booking materials. The tree is done through image transfer. Of course bees wax is used for the colors. Things that i like is the tree and the upper corner where you can clearly see that it says people surrounded with the scrap-booking piece. The hard part of this would have to been getting the tree to stand out against everything else. I wish I could have done it without the white behind it.
