Oh wow a blog.
I want to let everyone know about encaustic painting....how it's done, etc., and also to track where I am with my latest painting/s. This will, hopefully, keep me on track with my work and show the process in action. I'd like to do a video blog of my studio and the equipment and process of encaustic painting. It is similar but so entirely different from painting with oil, acrylic, or watercolor paints. It's very process-oriented and reminds me lots of printmaking, which I love. I'm going to Indonesia now for a month and I plan on using the local beeswax, pigments I've packed in my luggage, and the local Indonesian damar resin. I intend to solicit a few neighborhood batik friends to help me do some collaborations, since they're so handy with the tjanting tool, and I've got no experience at all with it. I'm so excited about it, and I'll post photos of our process. Oh wow a blog!
