Encaustic Art

This week the colour challenge at ' simply less is more' is
Three Shades of Green.

This is what I came up with!




This is my very first attempt at Encaustic Art and I was rather pleased with the result, it isn't perfect but it was great fun to do.


I made the image with two different greens, and attempted to capture grasses and a bird in the painting. I think you might just be able to make the bird out on the close up camera shot.

I layered the image onto green card stock and framed the image with plain white card. I then stamped the sentiment in green (whispers ink).

  1. I agree - it's a great result and I can definitely see the bird.
