This was my Fgraffito exercise using Shiva artist’s oil paintsticks over India ink. Very enamored with this process and plan to do more.

It’s dramatic, but subtly so. I think it’s beautiful
Thanks, Amy. It’s an interesting process. You paint India ink over watercolor paper, then cover with white Shiva oil paintstick and then draw and “take away.” I used the end of a sucker, you know those white sticks, for drawing. It was a blast.
oohhh…. me likes!
Thank you, Ms. Kate. I do, too.
I’ll be bringing some India ink to the April workshop- I’ve been using it a lot to draw and make marks on the encaustic surface. Fun!
I’m really looking forward to the class, Bridgette. Anyone else want to join?

It looks liks a self-portrait of a lovely lady. Like the colors.
Thanks, Mary, but it’s not me. LOL! It’s actually Susan Sarandon.
Nice portrait and her movie “Thelma & Louise” is one that I always remember because that Thunderbird convertible reminds me of my very first car.
