Brainstorm

Lineup for encaustics work. This is where I put the brushes to cool off, you can see the wet wax on the hotplate above the brushes, which were used to make the piece.

Happy friday people.  Here's a little encaustic work I made at some point in the past week.  Working small now, hopefully will have a studio for the winter set up and functional in the next few weeks. 

Encaustic at home!

Oops, never posted this piece.  It's the first I've made at home with my new setup.  Here it is!

So I took a weeklong intensive workshop this summer on Encaustic (painting with hot wax) and became completely hooked.

Since then I've spent several hundred dollars accumulating all the supplies to make my own home studio.  What follows is images of what I produced at the workshop, as well as one piece I was able to create at home a few weeks after the workshop.

To say the least, I am very excited.  Please feel free to comment on the images, feedback is important.  I hope to become involved seriously with this medium in the future.
