encaustic on paper

I thought I'd try sketching with encaustic on paper. It seems to work okay as long as the microcrystalline is really soft- very little damar. This is my sister asleep in the studio.

Quit your job, I did!

now i can paint and teach all the time.

I'll be posting my encaustic painting process. I've found a lot of helpful wax info written online, so hopefully I can add to that illustrious cannon.

James Jean put his sketchbooks online and I took that as a challenge. Goal: Draw everyday until I can draw as well as he can. www.jamesjean.com
