More wax work


This is another small, 5 x 7, landscape done in the encaustic wax technique. It was an image I was having trouble with in oils but here I feel I nailed it. I realized most of my wax cubes are fairly dark colors so will need to buy more light colors to work in this impressionistic vein. Now, can I apply what I learned to a larger work in oils of this same image? Will try that soon. It's great to try other mediums and themes and bring the knowledge gained back and forth between them.

You can see some of the nice texture the wax gives, even in this small image.

Yes, this looks like great texture! Interesting work, I had not really heard of this wax painting before.
