A few early stages of my encaustic landscape process, from left to right: 1) first shellac burn 2) iridescent cloud layer fused into background 3) first layers of mid ground scenery being fused in with more foreground scenery getting roughly inked in (this one’s going to be the Jewel Box in Forest Park) 4) first foreground layers being built in and fused, hot and cooling - I’m about halfway on this guy; the first half is where I keep telling myself to trust my process and push forward because much like the hot wax, it’s all fuzzy until later on! . 🔥🎨🌳⚜️🌲🎨🔥 . . . . . . . . . #paintingprocess #encausticprocess #hotwaxpainting #encausticpainting #encausticart #encausticartists #encausticartist #waxart #waxartist #stlart #stlartist #stlouisart #stlouisartist #sayyestoartstl #sayyestoart #stlwaxworks #leahmerriman #arteveryday #inmystudio #hotart #creationprocess #creativehappylife #waxywednesday #forestparkstl #depthobsessed #colorpop #cloudscapes #allthelayers #paintwithfire #wipart (at St. Louis Wax Works) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2AYlhNnEcE/?igshid=c749c7lfz5vt
