This is another encaustic that started with a watercolor painting of the flower. I added some textured paper and then many layers of wax paint. I tried throwing some sea salt on this before the paper went down and the paper wouldn't stick. It's possible the wax won't stick to the salt but it did before. The last thing I did was rub burnt umber oil paint over most of the surface. I was trying to see how a brightly colored watercolor would look compared to the one last week that was toned. It was too bright for me, hence the burnt umber.
