Home" - encaustics with mixed media on paper and board (45cm x 25cm). I am getting more into the "swing" of this new medium.

You are really in the zone. 22 November 2011 at 17:49. Hello a...

Escapist: Encaustic - great fun!
http://su-tropical.blogspot.com/2011/11/encaustic-great-fun.html
Sunday, 13 November 2011. Encaustic - great fun! Encaustic painting - "Melisande, alone" (paper, wax crayon, seeds and hot wax on board; 25cm x 25cm). Encaustic painting - "In the Woods" (paper, wax crayon, seeds and hot wax on board; 25cm x 25cm). Finally I've set up a corner in my studio for encaustics. My basic knowledge of this marvellous technique comes from a few good books as well as instructional videos featuring some inspiring encaustic artists (I'll give some titles and authors in my next post).

Escapist: Mixed Media painting - Ceremonial dress 1
http://su-tropical.blogspot.com/2011/09/mixed-media-painting-ceremonial-dress-1.html
Tuesday, 20 September 2011. Mixed Media painting - Ceremonial dress 1. Mixed media painting "Ceremonial dress 1" (100cm x 70cm, acrylics, paper on canvas). It is not always clear to me where my inspirations come from. In this case the idea of kimono patterns were certainly involved, and also a fascination with ceremonies in general (I was brought up as a catholic), the special state of mind involved with ceremonies and a wonderful a-capella concert with candlelight in our medieval church last weekend.

We all need a little push now and then so I put together this list of tips that have helped me stay motivated and maybe they can help someone else too. 3 Dress the Part.

Escapist: This green winter - encaustic collage "Across the Fields"
http://su-tropical.blogspot.com/2011/12/this-green-winter-encaustic-collage.html
Saturday, 10 December 2011. This green winter - encaustic collage "Across the Fields". Last year we had snow and very low temperatures at this time of the year. This year's winter is more English: green fields and fertile dark brown, freshly ploughed soil, surrounded by rows of bare oak trees and hedges - this all gives the undulating Norfolk landscape such a harmonic and gentle atmosphere. It feels like spring, walking under glorious sunshine and surreal blue sky. 11 December 2011 at 00:12. Your encaust...

Friday, 23 March 2012. Encaustic collage "Winter Fern". Winter Fern" - Encaustic painting (35x25cm, paper and wax on board). Experimenting with encaustics is full of surprises. This new work involves shellac (left side) which actually didn't turn out as I would have liked it. It didn't create these large crates and web patterns - don't know what went wrong. On the right side, my first trial of photo transfer, using a photocopy of a picture of the wonderful Karl Blossfeldt. What a beautiful red! View my c...
