Steve made me a gallery and he did it faster than light!!!! I've uploaded some of my stuff. Different things, made with different tools. I'm still experimenting with encaustic and trying out different tools. Heidi |

Great start to your gallery! My absolute fave is number 11! Wonderful light and that sky is to die for! Loved the depth in 19....reminded me of Tintagel Castle in Cornwall for some reason. I hated looking back down all the steps we'd just climbed (I'm DREADFUL with heights! ) But you captured that feeling of height perfectly! All really good work for someone who hasn't been waxing too long. Can't wait to see what comes next. It's surprising how fast you can develop the skills. Keep working at it! Maria x

Guys, please take it easy Ofcourse I only showed you the ones I like best sofar I started encaustic this summer and had a workshop of only 3 hours. Which is realy too short I realised afterwards. Then I bought myself some stuff and just hit it off. I don't know anything about composition or colour or perspective........I can't even draw. But that's the nice part of encaustic, I think, you can go a long way without all that skills. The only 'negative' thing about encaustic is that it's highly addictive!! Heidi |

Heidi, composition, colour and perspective are things we live with constantly so they tend to come naturally for our own perceptions
Do you arrange your furniture to suit your tastes, or pictures on the wall? Do you ever colour co-ordinate rooms or clothing? Do you like smaller ornaments in front of larger ones, so that they're visible (deliberate reverse perspective)? If those apply to you, then you're dealing with the three primaries of art anyway, at a practical level Never feel that you need to make excuses artistically! All artists use the "rules of art" however they want to, including chucking them in the trash!
You have the talent and the medium : go show the world! ![]() Steve |

Heidi, like Steve mentioned composition and colours we absorb naturally and I see in your pictures that you have been like a sponge Your work is VERY good for just starting out with Encaustic. I like the last one (nr. 4) the best, it really has a lot of depth in it through the dark sections in your foreground, the light middle and the fine lines flowing into that space. Don't you dare mention again you do not know anything about composition Love, Thea

Steve and Thea, Maybe you are right; so far I just thought of it as "luck" when I got the 'right' perspective and composition . But maybe it DOES come naturally because we do it every day
