Last week we were lucky enough to have encaustic artist Patricia Baldwin Seggebruch film here at the Creative Catalyst Productions studios. Lynn and I fought over who got to run camera B and as soon as Patricia left, we went out and purchased a months supply of beeswax. Patricia makes it look downright easy. Lynn and I discovered that it's not quite THAT easy but after editing
Patricia's workshop DVD and a few tries, I think Lynn and I will both love this medium. There is just so much versatility in it. I find myself looking at everything and thinking, "I wonder how THAT would look under a little wax."
Here's my weekend's attempt at beeswax collage. I always forget how slow beeswax collage is compared to collage where there's paint and mediums flying. So yes, there was a little fight with the new skill set but it was completely worth it and I'm hooked.
