My encaustic piece before adding the wax, after painting a wood block black, adding colorful papers; cutouts of birds, and a glossy photo of Henry V, then adding painted stars on dark blue over black paint. (happy animal Wednesday!!!)
I met another awesome artist there, Jenny Lee Wentworth of Creativity is Happiness blog. This is her wonderful art piece before adding wax too waiting for that second butterfly to land in the upper right hand corner.
Judy at her demo table behind her wonderful encaustic works of art.
I tried to collect and collage many of the wonderful pieces created on Sunday in this fun filled workshop.
enlarge photos to see more details please.
In the next collage below the Henry piece in upper left corner now has wax and gold foil spirals added.That's Jenny in top row 3rd from left.
Second row 2nd from left is my table mate Linda. Next to her is Jenny Stroyeck who also did awesome art pieces.
I'm sorry I don't know every one's names nor am I connecting each piece to it's artist.
Enjoy them all, they are wonderful artists and wonderful works of art.
My other piece is the one on the bottom row far left with waxand next to it you can see it before wax was added. Wax changed the white to gray
and words from behind that cut out show through adding an unexpected,
but very cool addition to the piece. Gold foil dots added around the little girl last.
Turquoise paint on top of black background paint; cut out paper for houses on bottom; cut out doll and paper for her dress added on top; painted splotches with added paint dots around the crayon picture (that Judy said looked like castles to her).
What a learning experience!
Fun Fun Fun!!!!
Okay Lynn, now you want me to learn encaustics with Judy Wise teaching me!
ReplyDeleteI can imgaine how much fun this workshop has been. Learning all new ways to express your art. FUN.
ReplyDeleteyou and Judy even look alike, like sisters. It sounds like great fun. Do you think you will continue experimenting w/encaustics?
ReplyDeleteThis looks like such a blast!!!
ReplyDeleteI like that Henry V was a star ;)
Funny, I would have never thought of collage encaustics. I just always thought of them as paintings, but now I see people use photographs and all media to cover in wax. Wow!
Thanks for sharing the fun Lynn!
Love seeing and hearing all about Judy Wise love ! You played marvelously with her, Lynn ! Beautiful results too...
ReplyDeleteI like the softness that the wax brings - and what fun!
ReplyDeleteThis looked like so much fun. I love what you did. I loved seeing Henry in the one and I love that little girl with the houses. Both are great. Good photo of you and Judy too. Great photos here.
ReplyDeleteThank you dear Lynn for this great love letter of a post. I agree with sukipoet who observed that we look like sisters and I think we may actually be sisters!!
