I’m working on the submission for Degrees which doesn’t leave me a lot of time to blog.
Instead, I thought you might enjoy a step by step photo blog showing the evolution of my work.
This part is just the underpainting. The final image probably won’t look anything like this. I’m also using exceptionally bright, pastel oil paints because they’ll look much darker after I put on several layers of natural encaustic medium. Use your imagination – what do you think this is going to be?
Here I’ve started putting on the encaustic medium. This is what the first layer looks like after fusing.

I really liked your birds on a wire. Great subject and very interesting to see.
Good luck at the show!
I’m new to encaustic and find it very difficult.
Thanks so much for the info on paint making and getting started. I look forward to more lessons.
