A Four Griddle Day
Finished this piece today and then decided I can’t go on without expansion! I have pans of encaustic paint piled around me and I’m getting TENSE! So I took a Target break and bought my third griddle. With my R&F Palette, I know have four heated surfaces. Maybe I’ll be satisfied for a while.
And while I was doing odd jobs before diving into a new piece, I made two batches of medium — this is ten pounds of beeswax and a smaller bag of damar resin. I use the standard 8 to 1 ratio and now prepare medium in an electric skillet.
This will last a few paintings. My new drawing is completed and board is on the table. Tomorrow I begin.
