Has it been 2 weeks already??
Well I’ve been experiencing a lot of frustration in the studio. I have been working on the encaustic painting of the cat. My vision for this work was not really coming trough.
My first try
On the first try, I felt that the colors were too soft and muddled, so I scarped them off.
Second try
I was pleased with the beginning, but, again, I felt that my large branches did not have enough contrast.
Third try
I began loosing the clarity of my vision for this painting.
Fourth try
This time it’s the same canvas, the same cat, but a different scenery. Again it became muddled and confusing during the second stage. I should have left it alone, or at least put it away, but oh no, by then I was so frustrated that I finally gave up on this painting and walked out the studio. Yes, it happens to the best of us…
A new week
That was last Friday. Now I’m on the rebound, and have renewed energy. I’ve received my new order of bees wax, and have return to work, mixing my encaustic medium, and I’ve started a new painting.
