Description
PLEASE BIG VIEW WindHaven is a fortress and landing zone way up in the sky above the endless seas of the planet 'Teal'. Just this moment a small spaceglider is nearing one of the the landingplatforms. Below a pair of dolphins and a seal are playing in the sea

Traditional Encaustic Waxart
That technique is called encaustic (from the greek word for branding).
By applying special colored beewax into the hot sole of the iron and spreading the hot molten wax onto a special sealed/coated paper card I'm able to create different patterns and designs and with the tip or rim of the iron I can even create animals, plants and buildings. But it did take some practice to do that
Used the knife to scrape/shape the bridges stairs and finer parts of the fortress as well as the eyes of the seal and dolphins.

I've held a small encaustic workshop this weekend fore some friends of mine and I'm quite amazed what loveley pictures they created and on the other hand how much difficulties or rather respect some of them seemed to have working with the iron. My conclusion : One either loves doing encustic artworks or hates doing so... strangely there are only very few in-betweens [at least considering my trainee group].

This one is so great. I love the colors and more than that, the value contrasts, depth and detail of a great scene. It reminds me of the best cover art. I could easily see this as an SF book cover.

Castles in the sky, always something that's held an interest for me. It may just be me but dolphins always seem to add that touch of magic.

Looks awesome as always, the only thing i noticed was that the islands in the sky look abit crooked

Wasn't easy to shape those round 'isklands' by using the iron without making too much fuzz and mess around and destroy most of the sky

the colours are soft and dreamy.. and you gave the ocean great depth and 3D effect!
the drawing looks childish but i guess that suits perfectly the general fairy tale - like look
well done! definitely a
how long did it take you to make it?

To create this picture it took me rough about 2 hours. And yes I tend to draw very childish most of the time
