Fantastic! Great composition and choice of colour! I love encaustics, did you do the india ink over top the wax?
yes, on the other encaustic portrait I was experimenting and did a base coat of wax, then the ink, then the colored wax. unfortunately, when I heated the colored wax the ink began to break and flow with the liquid wax, so for this one I did the ink last.

jeeze, i can't believe I did this 18 months ago. thats crazy.
