Wolves Red Sky - Hot Off the Easel

Wolves Red Sky

This painting began like most, as an accident. Art accidents are the best adventures when painting, to me, any way. The ink swirled, blended, blotted into the patterns you see through the wax paint. The forms of the wolves, the rocks on which they sit, and some of the background were helped into shape with watercolor pencils. The pencil marks looked so interesting, that the lines never felt water. Most of the lines stayed clear, even after applying the encaustic medium.

Why did I use encaustic medium instead of acrylic gloss gel? Both types of paint would have preserved the Red Sky Wolves…but with encaustics, ah! With the encaustic medium, YOU get to shine up the paint when it loses the gloss. The medium makes the design a little more three dimensional, gives it a little more atmosphere. The acrylic gloss gel would work, but the encaustic medium gives it a little more of an organic art accident feel.
