Let's play - wood calendar and encaustic mixed media collage
Determined to play around with the wood calendar, this week is all about play.
Day 44
I really love how the burnt orange color from the wood glue compliments the green encaustic paint.
Days 45 & 46
One of the things that I love about encaustic is the opaque and translucent colors. I love that by layering these together with other materials some layers still peek thru.
Day 47
Play and experimenting is important. Letting go of striving to create something perfect and instead, just allowing things to unfold in response to what the piece of art is telling me usually always leads to something magical.
Days 48 & 49
Using painters tape to mask off areas. The trick when working with encaustic and painters tape is to remove the tape when the paint is still slightly warm, but not hot.
Day 50
Wow half way thru 100 days! I hope you have enjoyed these behind the scenes sneak peeks along with the mini paintings as much as I have enjoyed creating them. Stay tuned for the next 50.
