Storming (a new encaustic piece)

encaustic, charcoal and hand-made paper (just barely peeking thru)

I started this piece in June at the encaustic workshop I took and just felt it needed a little more.  I did some scraping to even out a few lines then added more charcoal around the edges.  Then I hit it with my crème brûlée torch (again, buying tools and not using them as intended) to smooth out the marks from scraping and blend in the charcoal.

Now that I look at it, the differences are minute.  But important.  At least to me.  ;-p


same piece before I finished it today - can you see any difference?
