My process begins with encaustic paint to build the base elements, such as sky, water, or fields, followed by alcohol ink to define the flower stems. I then create cellular textures using shellac varnish enriched with pigments, and complete the composition with oil paint for the flowers themselves.
Throughout the process, I apply multiple layers of clear encaustic between the ink and shellac stages, allowing the imagery to develop greater depth and complexity.
When mixing colors, I let my instinct guide me. I let my feelings express themselves through every layer and brushstroke.
