Enthusiastic Encaustics



Well... The Io Moth is just a tester piece to get used to using encaustics. Hideous little thing, isn't it? First encaustic.
Had more fun with this male sage grouse here. Second encaustic.
I unfortunately do not know what type of bird this is, but I had a lot of fun turning this image into a sort of 3D piece. The source for both the male sage grouse and the bird in the reeds is the National Geographic. Third encaustic.

  2. Thank you! I'll be posting more photos as I get more things completed, as well as process photos too. I'm finishing up a commission right now and I'll post the photo of that tomorrow.
