My Magnolia - Created with beeswax and damar resin -encaustic media. Deep color and depth make this a very interesting piece. This is a framed 8.5" x 11.5" painting. Petals, leaves and stems are wax embedded tissue paper which creates life like texture.
Beeswax and Damar Resin is melted to it's liquid form and painted (about 6 - 8 layers) each onto a rigid wood base. The image is then carved and filled with pigmented wax. The backs are a solid color of encaustic paint. They are then coated with a protective clear finish. Happy Holidays!
