Encaustic Art Learning How to develop an A5 landscape

How to develop a landscape with Encaustic Art
Create and develop an A5 landscape with the Encaustic Art iron onto A5 Painting card. Elaborate it using the Stylus Pro with drawing tip and wire brush head. Scratch off wax colour with the cold metal scribing tool.
Basic Steps
Load the the iron with wax colours (set at LOW). Apply white wax with some pastel blue, pink and darker cyan blue.
Smooth this wax gently onto the card's top half and look for a pleasing light filled sky. Don't press hard and don't overwork this stage. If you have too little wax then add more.
With the sky done, load the iron in the curved area with olive green wax and a line of rust brown wax along the curved edge.
Slide the iron along the card length in a shallow U shaped movement. Make sure the top iron edge carries wax right across to the far edge of the card, sliding right off if necessary.
Add colours that are darker versions of those already used in the sky to the iron. Pink = red violet. Pastel blue = darker cyan blue. Add some green and brown too. Place the iron down over part of the lower green section and lift to create the foliage effect. These colours will harmonise with those in the sky and create a prettier and more naturally balanced feel.
Grasses are made by sliding the iron's edge up through the wax. Run that cleaned edge (clean with tissue wiping) through a block of green wax and then onto the card to create stronger coloured lines. Practice on a spare card, don't slide sideways and steer the iron like an ice-skate cuts through the ice surface, then you will get the thinnest resulting lines. If you get thick white lives at all it is because the iron is sliding sideways as you move forward, like a snow plough. To avoid this don't press so hard and practice steering the iron's edge to cut a line in the direction you want to go, turning to steer gently as you slide and lifting off where the grass line needs to finish.
For flowers load the tip with pink and "randomly" dab that tip onto the card, tapping it firmly.
Birds are small spots of wax, carried on the tip, dotted onto the card, then flicked left and right to create wings.
Polishing at the end with a tissue pad to achieve the beautiful wax sheen that these encaustic art colours offer.
The stylus pro (or stylus with drawing tip) allows input of wax colour in a graphical and controlled manner.
