Dance of the Nerves

This is a pencil drawing that I started to draw more than a year ago, stopped at the left part, and now I felt the need to complete it; this is the result. It took some "nerve-cracking" days to bite me through...:)

Hungarian Poppies - Encaustic Work In Progress

I'd like to share here a step by step development about my latest encaustic work. I combined here the hot-wax method, with the electric tools: encaustic iron, encaustic-pen and hot-air gun, but the fine details were painted by the new medium: AQWAX, using brushes and water and it worked wonderful.

I could make layers over the original hot-wax, without a risk, that it would melt. This new medium opens new perspective in encaustic, because very pleasant and easy to work with.
The support: canvas-board, size: 12 x 16", or 30 x 40 cm.
High quality, limited edition prints and greeting cards are available.

So How it started:

Transparency

This is my second try to test the new medium: Aqwax. The background here was made by hot-wax, using iron + hot-air gun, the butterfly was painted by Aqwax. It is a joy to use this new medium, Try to go bigger size now...
