Scene 1 Scene 2
I'm so excited to share that Kevin Nakagawa of Stampscapes made these two scenes I created into a Stampscapes Idea card!!
When I was at the Stampscapes Retreat, I was reminded by my stampin' sister Barb G of how much I enjoy Encausic painting. I have to admit, I go from one coloring tool/medium to the next and I truly enjoy each and every one!! :o) My favorite is the one I'm using at the time - it really is!! I'm sharing one scene I created with two different coloring techniques.
Scene 1: Encaustic Wax Painting
- Inked up Palm Cluster 100D with black ink pad and stamped onto glossy card stock.
- Spread wax with iron, using palms as a guide to separate the sky and water. Using the wax, I created a little land mass way off in distance.
- Inked up Seaside Cove sm. 308G with orange ink pad and stamped, lining it up with the bottom of the palms. Inked up and stamped a second time. NOTE: when stamping over wax, the wax is slippery and acts similar to a resist, so you image will not be dark.
- Inked up Solo Canoeist 159A with black ink pad and stamped. Used black marker to darken.
- Inked up Gulls 302A with black ink pad and stamped. Used black marker to darken.
- Inked up Frond #2 137C with black ink pad and stamped, Repeated several times around top of scene. Used a sponge to pick up black acrylic paint and apply onto 137C and stamped. Repeated several times around top of scene.
Scene 2: Tombow Dual Brush Pen Technique
- Inked up Palm Cluster 100D with black ink pad and stamped onto card stock.
- Scribbled yellow 025 marker on non-stick surface. Spritzed with water and swirled card stock through color. Note: leave some white areas. Wiped off non-stick surface before each new color.
- Repeat for orange 925. Repeat for red 856.
- Allow to dry. Can use heat tool to speed up drying process.
- Used water brush to pick up some red off non-stick surface and painted in a land mass.
- Inked up Seaside Cove sm. 308G with orange ink pad and stamped, lining it up with the bottom of the palms.
- Inked up Solo Canoeist 159A with black ink pad and stamped.
- Inked up Gulls 302A with black ink pad and stamped.
- Inked up Frond #2 137C with black ink pad and stamped, Repeated several times around top of scene.
