Technique and Tool

I am hurriedly posting this as I am meeting with our Sunday Drawing Group in 2 hours to put together our Subway Gallery show to open on Nov. 12th. But in the meantime, I did want to thank Seth Apter for including me in The Altered Page post, Technique and Tool. Check out his blog! He has alot of great posts and shares the work, thoughts, ideas of alot of great artists. Thank you, Seth! Oh, BTW, my favorite tool when I responded to Seth, was my camera. I LOVE my camera. It is the framework for most of my art. I also love Photoshop, our great Epson archival printer, and my encaustic/mixed media studio. It's the combo of ALL these tools that lets me make the art I make!

  1. Your 'rock art' photo trip! I've not delved into encaustics as I'm primarily working on old paper, and I have no idea what kind of a result I'd end up with. Have you ever used it on paper?

  2. Mr. Cachet, Yes, I have printed on rice paper and dipped in wax, or put on the hot palette and painted with wax. Here are some examples of the results from a post in January this year.
