Trapped in layers
The artist Alicia Tormey is an Encaustic artist who works with layers of wax long with other mediums. For this piece she has trapped layers of a material (my guess is string) under layers of clear wax.
What do you think of this piece? Is this something you would like to try? What type of image would you create if you could trap thin pieces of material between wax? What material might you use?

I would not like to do this. It seems like this takes a lot of time and patience and I know I dont have the patience to do this.
ReplyDeleteI like that you could have different perspective for what it is. It could be a flower or maybe a whole bunch of feathers. I also love all the different colors.
ReplyDeleteI like how it fades into a different color. and how it fades the orange and red and, it looks like a fun project to do.THe flower is a cool effect
ReplyDeleteI like how it fades inot different colors of the color wheel. The colors are good look on the tree
ReplyDeleteto be honest i'm not too sure what this is but it looks kinda cool. I really like how it all come together.
ReplyDeleteThis had to have been very time consuming for her to do. She is very good at it as well. I think that it would also look cool if she made a feather like this.
ReplyDeleteThis love this one. It looks soo real. It must've took her a long time to do. This is some real talent!

ReplyDeleteI think this is really cool. I would like to make a nature scene. I would use strings and leaves to make it look realistic.
ReplyDeleteThis is a very unique way to make a tree. I definitely haven't seen anything done in this style before. I liked it a lot.
ReplyDeleteThe colors on this tree looks very nice i really like it looks good.
ReplyDeleteThe color in this is very vibrant and intense so it makes things stand out.
ReplyDeleteThe exactness of the painting makes it look like its real. It is a wilted flower lying on a page. Its crazy how they made it look so real.
ReplyDeleteIt's so crazy how people can make art out of different things. It's unreal how someone can make this out of wax.
ReplyDeleteI really like how the trees have a feathery texture to them. Also I like how they use warm colors to also bring out a calm feeling. Also the tree reminds me of the ones in The Lorax.
ReplyDeleteIT's a picture of a tree, anyone can draw a tree
ReplyDeleteThis art piece is pretty wack , it's only a tree, like c'mon man. Everything about this painting is wack and un-origonal . paint something you don't see every day , paint an alien smoking a cigarette while skate boarding in hell carrying a puppy.
ReplyDeleteIt looks very cool. it looks realistic and would seem like itd take awhile to do.
ReplyDeletevery cool pattern. it is very cool. and challenging to do what thhey do.
ReplyDeleteThis looks really pretty. I would want to try this.I wish i could to this.It really amazing.

ReplyDeletethis is a really cool piece of art and i feel like it would be a really cool thing to try but if you mess up then you kinda half to work with it or just restart it seems like
ReplyDeleteTo me this looks really easy to do. If I could do this than it probably isn't that good. But I do like the colors on it.
ReplyDeleteI think it looks good but it needs more colors to make it look more alive . Or even more details
ReplyDeletei like how the artist is very creative
ReplyDeleteit is really cool. it would be a good challenge to do in class. but how did they do that.
ReplyDeleteThis painting is actually pretty dope. The way the artist made it look makes it great.
ReplyDeletei like this painting, its so simple yet so complex. its pretty darn neat. i'd like to have one hanging somewhere in the house
ReplyDeleteI think the project looks nice,but it seems like it would be a little too easy for us to do. It looks like a one of a kind
ReplyDeleteI think this piece is pretty cool. I would like to try this sometime, but I don't think it would turn out that good. I haven't really worked with wax before for anything. It would be something interesting to try.
ReplyDeleteI dont really understand what they were trying to do. I like how they put the colors together. Honestly I dont really like it.
ReplyDeleteIt is confusing to look at and i would assume that it is hard to do. It probably isn't a project that we would do in art but it would be fun to try.
ReplyDeleteIt Looks Gross. I don't like it. They should draw something happy.
ReplyDeleteThis is very cool. I like how the frower was made with different layers of wax.Its very interesting.
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome. I love all the layers in the flower to show a kind of 3D look
ReplyDeleteI really like this art it is very good I like all of the layers that they used on it. This looks like a very good 3D flower. I would love to have art like this in your house to look at all the time.
ReplyDeleteThis had to have been very time consuming for her to do. She is very good at it as well. I think that it would also look cool if she made a feather like this.
ReplyDeleteI thought this piece was very cool and unique. I would definitely give it a try but I'm not very artistic.
ReplyDeleteThis kind of art I think is so special. It is different than other thing which is what I think art should be about, variation
ReplyDeleteThis is very very intresting piece. This would be really fun to do. At least to try it'd be really fun i think.

ReplyDeleteI wouldn't like to do this project. It is too boring to me. If I am painting something I prefer to use more vibrant colors.

ReplyDeleteI dont even know what this really is but it sorta looks dope. It almost looks like a tree in the fall.

ReplyDeleteI think this is very cool. I would love to do a project ike this, but I wouldn't even know where to begin or what to do. Although, I would like to see what would happen if you used bubble wrap.
ReplyDeleteI think this art piece kinda looks weird. I wouldn't want to do this. It does look like it took some time to make tho.
ReplyDeleteI really like how many layers they added to it. It look like a tree that is blowing away in the wind. There is no way I would have been able to do this.

ReplyDeleteI like how the different colors give the picture more detail like the purple-like color in the stem look like veins. I think it would be very hard with the wax not to drip things or smear it.
ReplyDeleteI think it would be a fun project. Id love to give it a try in class. The only problem is i dont know if id have the pacients to wait for the wax to dry
ReplyDeleteThis is really awesome. I like the fade in this. Its also very cool because it is made out of wax!
ReplyDeleteThis project is extremely rad. The vibrant colors fade out and looks groovy. I would totally dig this project.
ReplyDeleteI think that this is a really cool concept. I would love to do something like this myself. I love all the texture in this piece.
ReplyDeleteThis looks pretty cool because i bet it took a lot of time and work to do this.
ReplyDeleteI don't understand how someone can sit there for hours and paint something that simple and boring but yet make it look complicated.
ReplyDeleteI don't get it. I just don't understand, how people can not see what is obvious here. It's a representation of life. How life starts so simple. You're parents have this straight line for you and then you turn 18 and life starts to unravel. The end.
ReplyDeletedang man time to right some poetry
DeleteThis piece looks very simple, but at the same time it looks very complicated. I love the texture look. But I don´t think it is something I would want to do.

ReplyDeleteIt's so crazy how people can make art out of different things. It's unreal how someone can make this out of wax.
DeleteIt looks like it would be a tedious process to get all of the string to be in the right place. It wouldn't be a quick project it would probably take a while but its neat.

ReplyDeleteit is really weird looking. and really cool. it would be cool to do in class
ReplyDeleteThis looks like it should be on a tree because of the leaves. But then you see the stem and it looks like a flower. The leaves look pretty cool on the flower I think.

ReplyDeleteI like how many layer they add. I think it would be a hard project to do. There is literally no way i would ever be able to do it.
ReplyDeleteI like the texture that the piece gives off. The artist seems to be skilled. It looks like a realistic flower even though its made out of string and wax.
ReplyDeleteI think it looks cool but it looks like you wouldn't be able to hang it up because the wax would unstick and fall off. I think that flames would look really cool like that because it looks a lot more natural than any flames that you can draw.(or at least I can draw).
ReplyDeleteThis is such a cool art piece. I would have done different colors, but its really interesting in how many different things it could look like. I'm interested to figure out how they did this.
ReplyDeleteIts ok but i wouldn't spend my money on this. I could probably draw this with my own twist. But i wouldn't because i don't like it.
ReplyDeleteThis is a very nice piece of art. The only problem is I don't think I would be able to get the colors just right. This is still a great piece of art though.

ReplyDeleteThis looks really nice and soothing. I kinda like this painting, but looks hard to do.
ReplyDeleteI don't really like this picture. The colors aren't bright enough and I feel like if I were to make a painting textured, I would use clay or layer paint. I don't like the look of this.
ReplyDeleteI like this piece of art it looks nice and pretty, but i would say it needs more color to it.
ReplyDeleteI really like how this piece flows in one direction and I love the colors
