a different direction
I felt it was time to change directions in a new series. I still am working out the technical kinks, but I am striving for is a stained canvas look. I start out with milk paint on a new board, or the imitation Venetian plaster if I am re-using a scraped board. Then I am using oil paint thinned with Liquin and with a gloved hand I move the paint around the board. After the paint is dried or absorbed into the base, I cover the piece with several layers of encaustic medium, scraping and fusing until I get a very smooth surface.
So far I only have a picture of one, a diptych was taken to the Pergola Gallery before I had a chance to photograph it. Soon, I will take more photos....

I love this piece so far. It is yummy looking...like a delicious pudding or trifle.
ReplyDeleteThat is a delightful comment. I am finishing a few more. It is taking me quite a while to get the surface smooth enough. Still some technical problems to work out before I can teach the process.
