I've created a brand new technique! Be among the first to explore this with me
Using black & white images, anything with 3D potential, (e.g. petals, fish-scales...waves),
we paint melted wax over the images to create 3D pictures
Then we choose:
Paint with traditional acrylic
Treat with metallic powders
seal & colour with fantastic vivid inks!!
I will provide a selection of practise sheets with images of fish, dragons etc. These you practise on before choosing from a selection of gift cards to work on.
If however, you would like to bring your own printed images, choose subjects you can add texture to with the wax. e.g. feathers, scales, foliage, water etc. Print them on card. Use at least 160g
