Ancient Wisdom

Image transfers and embedding in thick wax layers of silk along with imprinting in wax with leather tools gives a different look.

Film and image transfers

Another combination called Emerging done with a combination of a film print over wax and image transfers with some Golden product and glass beads and a coating of diamond glaze.

This winters southern trip took us to San Clemente where the surf rolls in and the sunshine draws one out for long walks on the beach. Of course taught wax painting but also took a class and connected with a great artist and got me going in some new directions. Here are some of the resutls of image transfer and embossing with wax.

Fish

Another computer print that was first painted with H20 twinkle paints and then dipped in clear wax and more colored wax added on background while paper was hot using the blocks. Waxed on fish with pen point and then dabbed on alcohol inks and dropped some on tissue and waxed and cut it out and welded it to paper with clear wax and pen point.

Wax over inkjet print

Another printed image that I dipped in clear wax and then with the pen point filled in the picture.

Above the falls

This tree filtered the light above the mist of the falls. The paper was dipped into clear wax. Just regular printing paper the print shop used and then I began to paint in all the image with colored wax. I rubbed oil paint into the sky areas to give that look. Liked the results.

Night Dreams

Back to my standby of Kleenex and wax combination along with the use of LumiArt. Not shown that well is the use of Diamond Glaze in areas to create gloss on the moon and down the left middle section of the painting.
