Here is a painting a did more than a month ago and forgot to share. It might be my favorite of all the birds. I had an urge to use the encaustic media and play with textures, so that's what I did.
I embedded real flowers (dry, pressed) in it. Couldn't believe that fragile hydrangea petals would survive the heat, but they did and turned out so lovely!
I added as much texture as I could, while leaving the color palette almost neutral. It was really a lot of fun and I could hardly make myself stop. After I finished, I immediately went to Judy Wise's blog to order her Encaustics Workshop e-book. Watched it, loved it, learned a lot but haven't done anything with it yet. I guess my muse has had enough wax play with this one painting for now.
Hope you'll enjoy the close ups of textures :-)
Absolutely stunning. I love all the texture and the attention to details is inspiring.
ReplyDeleteWish it was mine to admire.
Thanks for sharing Zorana
It is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWow the textures on this are amazing and as always your birds are a delight!!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy all your paintings but this one is totally stunning!!!
ReplyDeleteFabulous artwork. The hydrangea flower and leaves look good and all your effects like the musical circle and the lacing and lace work so well. Of course the bird is the star of the show, a very gentle bird, maybe a young one?
