That is one of the few drawbacks to encaustic. Unlike painting with oil or acrylics, you have to more or less mix the colors (first), then mix the color with wax. At least you can reuse the paint if you cover it with saran wrap and freeze it. I usually mix my colors in either dixie cups or old cat food/tuna containers so that I can heat the color on a hot plate. I also hate to waste any of the paint, so I try to use as much of the colors mixed as possible, which is why you usually see similar color schemes for a couple of days in a row.
In other news, I finally got my camera fixed! That was quite the boon to doing a painting a day. I was still doing them, but unfortunately, had no way of visually recording it. I love how I have actually picked up the intensity of the painting-a-day and am actually doing it every day (well, every working day). In any case, its rainy outside, so I won't be tempted to procrastinate by spending my day outside! Have a wonderful Monday!

I took a huge gamble yesterday. I have been enjoying this daily painting process so much that I really think I'm going to continue doing it. I have been able to explore color relationships that I normally would not try on a larger piece, simply because I would have invested too much time and paint should it not work. But these smaller, simpler studies in encaustic have allowed me to be adventurous and push some of my color relationships.
So what was my huge gamble? I submitted this blog to Daily Painters. I actually discovered the site sometime in February, after I had started doing a painting a day. Most of the artists on the site are actually realists, but there are a few abstract artists as well. I am hoping that since most of my pieces are encaustic and there is virtually no artists on there in that medium, I might be able to round out that niche. And, let's face it, I would love to sell some art. But we'll see, their message back said it can take weeks to hear a decision. In any case, I'm just going to keep painting away!

The inspiration came from a vintage print that had a peachy-orange background and aqua, lime green, and brown paisley print. So amazing. If I had tried to do anything with these colors in oil, I would have probably made a mess out of it, but I think they turned out beautifully. The next two days of posting are going to be awesome!

To purchase this piece, please click the button below or Email Me:Wow. I love this piece. I am quickly learning how amazing encaustic is as a medium. When I initially put these colors on the panel, I was worried they would turn out muddy and yucky. Before when I have worked in oil impasto, and have put such a vivid purple and green next to one another, they have combined into a muddy mess. But with encaustic, they retained their colors and moved together beautifully. The next two days are going to be yummy yummy posts.

This piece turned out much more Kelly Green than I intended, but I still had fun with it. As with the red pieces I did (pure passion), I think I need to have a few different colors in my palette to get the greens that I truly want. The color that I am most lacking (or rather, missing the most at the moment), is Cadmium Yellow Light. The Cadmium Yellow Medium made the greens much higher chroma than I intended, then white just made them more pastel. Nevertheless, the next two days postings will be green. Much fun was had by myself, regardless. Cheers, and Happy St. Patty's Day (if a bit early!)

To purchase this work, please click the button below, or Email Me.Wow, it is already March. Time is passing so quickly to me. I do look forward to March. To me it means spring is finally here in Texas. I can only stand the gray days for so long. Thank goodness I do not live up North. As beautiful as snow can be, I do not know how in the world I would ever endure four months + of gray weather. About all that I can stand is the two weeks we have here usually. I think after I finish this last red piece, I will probably wind up using many more jewel toned colors. Spring is in the air!
