Black Vase on Windowsill
Encaustic, collage and oil pastel on canvas
12" x 12"
$250 SOLD
It's been so long since I posted any new paintings! But I'm pleased with this one. It is highly textured with many layers of collage (mostly hidden now) and encaustic, followed by oil pastel.
Encaustic is a painting technique that combines color pigment with hot wax. The semi-liquid mixture of materials painted on to a wooden panel or other support and then fused to the surface with heat.
I use an old household iron to melt and fuse my pigment and wax. I also have a small "quilter's iron" for finer details. The red flowers were made by simply holding a red wax crayon against the iron and letting it drip onto the painting. The white details are oil pastel applied after the encaustic had cooled and hardened.
