Happy Wax on Wednesdays! This week adding those final layers to the abstract landscape studies on oil paper. 

Supplies I used this week:
Each week I list the supplies I used in the video here on the blog for you so that you can see and easily find the items used for that week's  technique . 
If you purchase items from the links provided it sometimes generates a few cents in commission  which goes right back in to creating videos for you on the youtube channel. It  does not raise the cost for you in any way, and is the same link you would find on a regular amazon prime search . Thank you so much!  Also , although the photos here can help you easily find the product . I also recommend that you look at your local art /hobby store to make sure you are getting the lowest price. Sometimes with weekly 40% off coupons basic items can be found at a better price.

Hello and Happy Wax on Wednesdays !
This week continuing the layers with cold wax on Arches Oil Paper. These middle layers are often what I call the "Character Layers", because although much of it may get covered up in the end, some of the exciting texture and interesting marks made in the cold wax medium will remain . Building on these beautiful textures and marks in the wax is part of the wonderful draw to this wonderful  medium. 
     When I work abstractly during these middle layers I am still searching for where they may take me . Exploring color , mark , line, and creating fun texture so that I don't become too detailed at this stage of the painting. Next week we will hone in and finish up these little paintings with the final layers.

Hello and happy Wax on Wednesdays!
It is fun to change it up once in a while so this week mixing up my favorite color palette for cold wax painting and beginning a first layer on Arches Oil paper. 

One of the exciting things about cold wax is that so many things can be mixed right in to create color! A lot of the pigments like oil paint sticks that we already have on hand for encaustic painting can be used to create a cold wax paint.

Happy Wax on Wednesday!
​The sun peaked out this week and I seized a long awaited opportunity to print outdoors. I love printing with natural botanicals but was wanting to get a few of my photographs printed as well . I have an idea for this particular print in and working it in with some of my botanical cyanotypes. 

I also can't wait for Spring to bring some new printing materials ! It hasn't happened yet, but the snow has melted, and I am  optimistic that I can finally feel Spring very slowly making it' way.
