Description
BIG VIEW to see the details This winterscape with a lonely tree + fosen river and icey ridges I've made by ironing hot molten wax onto a *BLACK* card wich makes the water and mountains look kind'a frosted and ads to the icey reflektion of the water.
I still don't know if my encaustic wax-art is supposed to go into the drawing or painting sections
OH well

Oh my god, I have never heard of this type of artwork before...WHY HAVE I NOT HEARD OF THIS BEFORE?
This is GORGEOUS!!! It's so interesting to look at! The movement of the piece, the intriguing lines, the bright, almost alien color--the whole thing looks VERY cool. Good work!

Personally I'd say it's a painting 
As to this picture, it was good that you used this black background X3 It came out with interesting effects no? It affects the colours in a very stylised way, which has given a rather strong mood to this. ^^ I love the composition, the slightly angle of the landscape which suggests a certain surreality, the sweeping twisting skys, the harsh yet beautiful landscape of, as you said, frosty-looking mountains, the vegetation which looks rather wet and pondscum like, and this piercing reaching tree. The water is also very beautiful, the subtleties of the reflection really working well for it. In brief; every single element is beautiful, yet they all work together as a whole to create this striking piece.
A most excellent work of art X3 It's a definite fav-with-love from me ^^

maybe it could be submitted as a landscape or maybe miscellaneous?..if they even have that.. I just had to comment.This is my favorite of your encaustic art work so far.

thatas a good idea, using black paper. maybe you might experiment with other coloured paper too, and achieve different effects and feeling!

Like I said earlier. Your work is just improving to the point of perfection! Keep it up!

Beautiful. I remember doing things like this on rocks when I was younger. XD Anyway, you truly captured that cold, hard, dank feeling ice appears to generate. The frosted mountains themselves look like vicious glaciers, and the reflection gives off an eerie feel. The tree and plants towards the front were also a nice touch, and the sky looks like it's from another dimension... Yet it still looks like a sky. Truely masturful usage of the wax, and a great scene to boot. You've definately got talent. n.n *favefaves*

Great colors. I like your choice of the black paper--gives a rich shadow and contrast to all the colors.
I'd suggest trying differently colored papers for different effects. Here, the black worked very well, so maybe you could use it in other ways too.

Fantastic! So vibrant and alive, I love it! I've never heard of your wax art before. It's really amazing, is it widely practised?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
About 3 years ago encaustic wax-art was rather seldom to be seen but meanwhile is getting to become a commom more widely practiced art, a least in Great Britain, the Netherlands and in Germany . I've been told, that over here in Gemany encaustic wax-art is meanwhile even beeing practiced in artclasses in elementary school

Okay, I've seen a lot of your encaustic artwork, but this has GOT to be my favorite.. Maybe it's the black card, who knows.. But I really like the composition on this.
