Crabapples Day One
I thought I’d NEVER get started on this today! I spent all morning putting final coats on two other encaustics. Each final coat led to ANOTHER final coat while I was taking breaks to frame completed pieces that were on the table in the next room. And no doubt, I was an accident waiting to happen today - I bumped, spilled, dribbled, and smeared all day long. I was definitely a danger to myself and others….
I had this idea fairly well thought out but didn’t start till after 2pm. This board has a ground of encaustic gesso, three layers of medium, then a couple of layers of blue medium followed by a isolating layer of clear medium. Then I transferred my first layer of design and began cutting away.
I have a slight idea of what I want to do with the first layer tomorrow. I may change my mind after I sleep on it…..sleep is definitely in order.
