Groovin’
Part of getting in a productive groove is figuring out a system. And I tend to not figure it out….I stumble over it and finally crash into it. I really think that has been the hardest part of learning to work with wax. The tools and process are so completely different from anything I’ve done before. As I pushed my pans closer together to make room for ONE MORE today, I saw evidence that I was finally getting into a groove. I’ve had to make decisions about what kinds of pans and brushes work best, how to make paint, how to organize colors, so so so many decisions…..but there is a method to my madness now. Finally.
This piece is 18” x 24” and I’m enjoying working a little larger. It’s definitely a slower process — and more physical, believe it or not. My whole day was spent on the dark indigo areas of this piece. I carved out these areas, painted, then scaped back with a blade. I finished with a layer of clear medium.
