For weeks I have been trying my hand at Encaustic Painting. I bought filtered and raw beeswax, damar crystals, as well as hot plates and crock pots from Goodwill. I watched every video and scoured artists websites. I have never been so frustrated with an art form. It is not a predictable medium for me. When I look at some of the incredible work done in encaustic medium I want to scream, I want to do it so badly, I want to chomp down on that beeswax and make it obey.
So, last night after much disgust with my pieces, I took out a clay sculpture I started about 5 years ago and never finished. She is quite rough but I am attempting to scrape and salvage and finally fire, then will try the encaustic medium on the bisque fired piece.
