April

April and I had a really good conversation about monogamy and communal living and baby making while I painted this warrior-like portrait of her.
April, I couldn't help it. It's just that I think you're really hardcore.

With this one I primed the wood panel with a layer of wax, Then did an underpaintng in very thin green and white oil paint. When that dried I added one smooth, clear layer of wax. Then i did the colours in transparent encaustic.

In all of the paintings I'm using microcystalline with a little damar added for hardness.
