Painting

Two new pieces up for sale in my Etsy shop

I had so much fun with these

I mixed up my own oil paint 

with a combination of 

earth pigments and linseed oil

or for the blue natural indigo powder

and I added the pigment to cold wax medium 

which I make myself 

beeswax and pure gum turpentine

I geesoed up some 300gsm watercolour paper

then taped them to the glass tabletop

and built up layers of colour

patiently waiting between

for them to dry

Until one day I looked

and said

that's it

finished

I do believe there shall be more
