We're back to the rainy season here in Vancouver, but there's often a rainbow lurking somewhere if you look hard enough! As an artist, I am always captured by the beauty of reflections, especially in water. #OutdoorInspiration #Nature #Rainbow #OverTheRainbow #ArtRainbows

Watching the creation of an Encaustic painting from start to finish is always mesmerizing! It's hard to believe that Wax could create such three dimensional luminous and flowing beauty. I'm always in awe working in partnership with this amazing material. https://www.sharybartlett.com #CreativeProcess #Encaustic #Creativity #ArtProcess #ArtIdeas #EncausticPainting

Have you ever seen this tool before? It's called a kitska, and is normally used for painting Ukrainian Easter eggs. It works beautifully for Encaustic and leaves evocative raised marks on the surface and makes pretty awesome polkadots as well! #Encaustic #EncausticPainting #EncausticWax #UkrainianEasterEggs #ArtTools.

Encaustic Accretion: It takes a bit of patience and time, but building up the surface texture of an Encaustic painting is fun, and the final outcome is always an unexpected 3D surprise. I love how painting with this medium is a combination of control and letting the Wax do its own thing. http://asswww.sharybartlett.com/courses #ArtCollaboration #EncausticPainting #Accretion #WaxAccretion #ArtAccretion

Combining collage from a torn magazine image to begin this intuitive, abstract painting, this image inadvertently became an imagined cabin in the hills. I find it fascinating to see what the hand creates when the brain is not attached to it! I really enjoyed adding Encaustic on top and enhancing the surface with @panpastel. #IntuitivePainting #IntuitiveAbstractArt #AbstractArt #AbstractCollage #EncausticCollage

I really loved making this encaustic painting beginning with watercolour painting, using India inks, felt pens, water- soluble coloured pencils, and more - as an underpainting on Encausticbord by @ampersand_art. It was even fun to scrape off the extra wax to achieve this amazingly smooth surface! www.sharybartlett.com #EncausticBord #Art #ArtSupplies #ArtSubstrates#ampersandartsupplies#Encaustic #EncausticPainting

I discovered this amazing Chinese Ink that turns a gorgeous antique gold with a narrow outline of black! Wowser! And with the addition of watercolour paint resist on encaustic threads of wax, I love the simple but evocative effect. • • • • • #SharyBartlett #I_love_encaustic #weloveencaustic #myencaustic #encausticart #waxonpanel #meltedwax #abstractpainting #abstract #mixedmedia #encausticpainting #studiohappenings #mixedmediaartist #modernart #artwork #encausticartist #textileart #abstractpainter #makingart #encausticartwork #painting #encausticpainting #contemporarypainter #originalartworks#iea_encaustic #internationalencausticartists #Watercolor #ChineseInk#ChineseInkPainting #ChineseBlackGoldInk
