I’ve returned to encaustic. I keep going back to it. I’ve been doing it for so long that I tend to think in encaustic. It’s both versatile and specific. You can do a lot of different things with it, however, each of those things have a specific look. The second piece in which will probably be a trio of works (not a tryptych exactly), is below. White encaustic background, with raised white letters. I rubbed a mixture of black and indigo over the surface, similar to the way that you would ink and wipe an etching plate. The black paint picks up the edges and imperfections on the encaustic surface.
