"Copper Revelation."
From my Oceania encaustic series.

Shellac burns with mica powder.
Always unpredictable.
It's fun to set an artwork on fire 🔥 and see what random beauty pokes through.

Small encaustic painting, shades of blue and green in the background with a yellow sun like circle in the middle. All with black reticulation.

An early shellac experiment. I had seen videos of shellac burns, but for this one I wanted something darker. So I scraped some black pan pastel into a little cup of shellac. I later discovered that powdered pigments are exactly the way to color shellac. Trust your instincts!

The very first encaustic painting I sold! I was so surprised and grateful. It gave me the push to keep growing and going.

Trying to find my art community. Posting my first encaustic painting with a shellac burn. This is when I fell in love with the medium.
