Photo Details
encaustic collection Registered: September 2006 Location: Wales, UK based Posts: 105	The sky is waxed onto the card that sits on the hotplate. White and blue are blended with a tissue and the blocks themselves. The distant mountains are drawn on with a block of wax, then worked and softened with tissue. A tissue crumpled into a hard edge shape is then used to create the 'trees' on the far side of the lake. gently dabbing a the wax sodden tissue once for each 'tree'. The lake is wiped through with a tissue and then similar 'trees' are created in larger form as the distance closes into the foreground. The rubber stamp addes ground texture. when polished, after being on the hotplate for quite a while, some areas of thin wax colour rubbed right off, leaving interesting ghost shapes, especially in the distant trees and mountains.
