ACHF Arts Access
Because I have been working with encaustic wax for a few years, I feel that I know the basics of the medium. However, there is so much to learn that I still feel as if I am only beginning. As I continue to work on various techniques, I will learn how to combine them into one piece. Already I am combining an image printed on tissue paper, adding pastels and other marks with tools and wax friendly pencils, and pieces of cloth or plants. As I evolve, I believe that my artistic skills will improve and will be measured by the quality of my work. It is my hope that there will be many who will come and enjoy my work. Also, as I grow I hope to become more established as an artist in artist communities with more opportunities to show and sell my work. As I learn new encaustic techniques, I add them to my Word document Notes file. I can also add photos to it to show an example of the idea. In a way this is my journal. I refer back to it, adjust what I have written, or add comments to myself. The best part of it is that I can search for a term or word in the document. It is a great reference. I also will get feedback from guestbook comments from my show.
I feel I am more able to solve problems by understanding the capabilities of the wax, therefore improving my skills. I think I get a little more proficient with each piece I create. Not only am I figuring out what I can and cannot do with encaustic medium
