Landscapes in Encaustic Art

Let's start at the beginning here. That means understanding the 4 effects the iron easily produces.

Smoothing...	Lifting off...	Using the edge...	Using the tip...

These 4 effects can very simply be compiled into a structure that begins to resemble landscape form...
Smoothing...	Lifting off...	Using the edge...	Using the tip...

This simplest of structures provides all the information required to suggest a landscape scene.
There are basically 3 bands.
1. Light for the sky. Here, just left plain blank!
2. Solid colour for the midground landmass which includes the horizon line.
3. Finally a band of detail to represent and suggest
foreground and foliage.

So thats how the basic landscape can so easily be achieve by anyone. It has been broken down into a straight forward technical assembly of these 4 wax and iron effects.
