This work is departure in technique. Using cold wax with oil for the first time. I made a drawing of the shapes and small sample of color notes. Now the fun starts...I used a squeegee, 3 different brayers, a plaster tape tool and palette knives to spread the paint. By increasing the cold wax to oil ratio, I was able to create "ghost effects" where and underneath color peak through. The underlayment is yellow ochre which provides a warm basis to apply a generally cooler palette. The painting is finished on the sides and signed on the reverse.
