Encaustic 8. Landscape.

A slightly larger scale this time. I'm really taken by encaustic. I love the effects you can create, but more than that it is forcing me to work in a different way, and to think in a different way. I'm far less concerned with representation and thinking more about design. My consideration of composition is less intuitive and much more explicit. I look at the image differently, trying it upside-down and from the side, and I'm thinking far more about what affect each shape and mark will make to the overall image than whether the mark is describing what I want it to describe. I have no real idea of how each piece will look until I'm well into it when the shapes and colours start to suggest something that I like.
