My process of Study in Freedom

Thought I would post the process of Study in Freedom.  

Study in Freedom

Encaustic

6"x 6"

My process of Study in Freedom 

I started with this piece.  It was a board from a stack of rejects...or to be continued or reassessed stack. 

I flipped it and started adding texture with wax and oil stick.  This has several layers.

Then entered the yucky stage.  I did not like it, but gave it a try. 

Removed some of the yucky color top right and added my favorite colbalt blue encaustic paint,

More layering with wax, paint stick, and torching!

Added white and carved in some places where the wax was thick.

Little paint stick in the groove, little torching and the final piece!
