Encaustic Landscape
Have not shown one of these for a while, someone was painting using Beeswax and dye in the studio during he week and it was on a large scale, very effective.
She was using a special implement which he appeared to be heating up first in the dye which was boiling and then dribling the wax on to the canvas
The image is King and the image hunter!
A tendencey to soak up the landscape and be inspired to paint it or at least record it in sketchtbook.
Rememberd Places the image is just there and becomes a motife to be used as and when
A interesting painter of Mountains amongst other things I like this one below very much.
This one has a nice two tone effeet with colour
This is perhaps a bit more defind which is strange as really it is a night time painting.
And the final one of this selection is this rather , dare I say it jolly looking train! We are still in the Mountains and the train is puffing away going up the mountain.
Abstract Landscape
Here is a small Landscape which i have called a Abstract landscape it is 6 inches by four and done with a pallet Knife
two seperate shops where I usally buy my paint seemed to have run out of System Three Process Magenta 75ml Tubes as these are the most reasonably priced!
Had to buy the more expensive 250ml pot in the end
Process Magenta
I have been saving this Artist as I think the use of colour is so exciting! you can almost get drunk on it. It is the artists response landscape .
The painting speaks to you and says things to you about a lanscape that she paints, The mark making as well as the placement of colours.
From the Scotish Colourist background with a look at Howard Hodgkins!!
Here is a link to The Beach Project which is open to anyone to put photos uo of a beach. It seems to b a kind of Site specific thing and very interesting
A interesting tutorial today and some food for thought, is a painting quickly finished within say five mins worth the same as a painting that has taken days to do, if it works for you as a painter within five mins do you say stop this it!
People who buy paintings do not need to know how long it takes but there seems to be great interest on the part of the buyer asking “How long did this one take?’ Do you act all coy and say well long enough!?
Any thoughts and observation would be welcome on this topic
The transition process is not always easy and sometimes can be a bit messy, but it is all worth it in the end. painting is a bit like that at times from nothing on the canvas to images that grow.

This is where it started to go wrongt with the wrong kind of greeny yellow
