Discoveries

For Christmas, the man of the house took me to my favorite art supply place, The Art Box in Lynchburg! 

The Art Box

I examined everything, marveling at every art supply in the building! Finally, along with some papers, I decided upon these Caran d' Ache Museum 'sticks'. They are magical! I have crated two drawings so far, and I love them, just love them! 

I have also discovered cold wax. I am in love with it as well. Cold wax is so versatile. I have used it when painting, collaging, printing, and creating a cold wax painting (similar to encaustic).  I will be doing more exploring and making more discoveries, and I will keep you updated with new discoveries. 

Time Flies...Cold Wax Collage

 

I really do not know where time goes. That is one thing I am going to put on my wish list...time. 

I have been asked to give time to the workshop for the League of Roanoke artists next October! I am excited about this. My focus will be on cold wax techniques, which I am still experimenting with; I have only brushed the surface of what this medium can do, and what I will do with it.
