Comments on: The Bear, Moth and Ghost Wolf http://sarahblankstudios.com/blog/2007/11/14/the-bear-moth-and-ghost-wolf/ art, musings and such Wed, 07 Jan 2009 17:16:07 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.2 by: new year : Sarah Blank Studios http://sarahblankstudios.com/blog/2007/11/14/the-bear-moth-and-ghost-wolf/#comment-1759 Sun, 30 Dec 2007 16:02:48 +0000 http://sarahblankstudios.com/blog/2007/11/14/the-bear-moth-and-ghost-wolf/#comment-1759 [...] I had fun painting this one and layering in things. My intention was to add textured ghost prints of antique lace such as in The Bear, Moth and Ghost Wolf. But when I tore up the lace it did not leave and imprint like it did in the previous piece….it just tore up the support paper and made a huge mess! So then I imagined doing encaustic over the whole thing so I got out my wax…but after some research I discovered that encaustic waxes can not be done over acrylics. The piece ended with me deciding to put a thick layer of Golden gels over the entire painting, attempting to create a faux encaustic finish. Well, it tured out very plastic-y as a result of the yucky gels (which I can’t stand in the first place). I used gels previous to this but now they have lost my attention forever. I am happy becasue they have a terrible chemical smell anyways. I am sticking with glue. [...] […] I had fun painting this one and layering in things.
