Beeswax painting

Funny about the ‘never say never’. Here I am, having said ‘never’ to covering a painting with beeswax, and I did do that exact thing today after a fantastic tutorial by Cristina Zinner Gallaher.

I’m very happy with the results. The painting is 9x14. I’ve added some details with the lace and the buttons.

  6. I love the soft look that beeswax gives. It's even better when you're doing collage; you don't need any adhesive! I've been using it a lot more since taking Claudine Hellmuth's class.
    Your painting is just beautiful! And I'll bet it smells good too!

  7. Wow, this is just beautiful. I think it always pays to do a "never" - at least once! lol!

  9. I think my secret is that I didn't have beeswax yesterday. So I used lots of Golden soft gel medium, matte, to see what it would look like. Then today, I got some at Michaels, with my 40% off coupon, and topped the whole thing with a layer of beeswax. So it got quite cloudy that way. :-))
