This is the second of my Organics series using encaustic. I have started several more in this series in oil, and will likely attempt some in acrylic, as well. And of course, there are all the sketches.

Painting in Encaustic: Liberation and Challenge
For about the past year-and-a-half, I have been in a bit of despair over how to continue working in encaustic.
I started using encaustic paints in 2006. Encaustic paint is pigment suspended in a mixture of beeswax and damar resin that the artist heats and paints with while in a melted state (the paint, not the artist
) – you can read more about encaustic here.
