Description
An encaustic wax painting.Matt has done a remix of this digitally and made it so much better - you can see it HERE
anyway, this was done by accident up until i noticed a gateway in the centre and then i worked around it - much to shouts of "NOOOOO don't ruin it" by matt and dave
thanks guys!!

I have a friend who works in this, it's so tricky to manipulate, I'm in awe!! Do you use pre-prepared colours or your own pigments? ...sorry to be pestering, but I paint in tempera, & am always looking for new pigments...those grey-violets are just stunning, it looks like a crystal cave...have to

they're kind of blocks of wax in differing colours, but if you melt one colour into another it gives you a different one - it's a really great media to work with

Wow, these just get better dont they! Some parts of this, like the top left, look just like coral, do you see what I mean?
I hate when that happens with a drawing; you want to go on, but at the same time you dont want to ruin whats already there. I usually just say 'do it!' to myself and see what happens.

the beauty of wax painting is you can go over it again with different colours
i see the coral.

fuck man - you should see the remix - matt did exactly how i saw it - it;s fuckin spot on
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I did, but I like this one better.
While the other is really good, it's an image that's been used thousands of times, whereas this has only gone for hundreds.
