It is the 1st of May and time for another great altered art challenge at Altered Eclectics. This challenge is always an Anything Goes Challenge. The only rules are that your project must be either altered art or mixed media and not a card or ATC.
I love this challenge blog because every month I can try something different and it challenges your creativity.
This month I tried two different techniques I have been wanting to do. I had never done an Encaustic wax image transfer or used paper I created using Citrasolv on National Geographic paper. I had learnt the encaustic transfer technique in a class by Donna Downy. The heron image was a free image from Graphic Fairy.
I added about 5 layers of Encaustic Medium to my board before I started my painting. Using Citrasolv on National Geographic paper gives some great patterns and I thought would be interesting as my mountain in my scene. I carved my mountains and trees and used a burnt umber oil stick to fill in the lines and edge the picture.
Thank you for stopping by and have a creative week. Remember to pop over to our challenge blog to see the wonderful creative projects of our talented design team.
