I still feel that I jumping into a new field (pool) of painting without really knowing how to swim... but with this painting it started from a sketch that I did years ago for Wetcanvas All Media Art events Sept 28th  hosted by mlou_jhu in 2012.  The Yosemite sketch.

I really like how you pulled the colors throughout and made a path for the eye through the painting. Thanks for sharing your inner feelings as well as the process. We can all learn from watching an artist try something new and share how it feels. Maybe next time you can say more about what it's like working with the wax? Thanks!

Carol, I have found my favorite tools are soft silicone spatulas from my kitchen! guess who doesn't cook much anymore! I have found some cool things to use in kitchen department of the inexpensive stores. What are you using?

Thanks Kathy for your feedback. I use palette knives,have a silicon paint 15 mm spreader,can't see the brand, think Princeton, sandpaper, mesh screen, old credit cards, A local art store has started to import them. Will definitely look look into kitchen tools. Also have used small plastic ice-cream spoons...the flat kind.
