"Essentials"
Encaustic 12x12"
Another wonderful day at the workshop with Linda Benton McCloskey - this piece incorporated incising, oil glazes and adding items from my "treasure box" of antique mall or found goodies. R&F Handmade Paints has this great cool opaque green called celadon which is a new favorite of mine, and I really like this quinacridone magenta. the olive green glazes made the piece vibrate for me, and I love watching the blowtorch "crack" the glaze. Linda put this piece on FaceBook earlier today but it was turned a different way and later she and I agreed this is the way it should be, and she said that with an abstract, it's better to have the heavier components on top.
Here is Linda demonstrating line, incising, filling in the incision with red encaustic paint on the left, and holding the finished piece on the right - what a great piece for a demo!
Christie Crosby below shows her encaustic jellyfish!
She used caran d'ache crayons and oil pastels to bring out the jellyfish on her abstract background.
Carol Gardner below fill heavy incisions with encaustic paint.
Then she stamped and oil-glazed.
On the board - her apron was already painted!
