Fooling around with a technique using acrylic medium to imitate some of the look of encaustics. Didn't quite work--it's too clearly acrylic still, might be using the wrong medium, although I've gotten some suggestions for getting a more wax-like result--but the end result was kind of interesting anyway. The thick gold lines are done with modeling paste, which I popped into a bag and squeezed out the end like icing a cake.

The quail appears to be a relative of the one from Quail and Quagga...

The background looks kind of like an integrated circuit.

The quail is cute.

I think it's interesting how you made the gold lines.

That is very adorable. I love the textures. It's so simple, yet very appealing to the eye. I'd imagine it's something I would hang on my wall.

This is a wonderful picture. The gold "icing" gives it a whimsical feel and the blue background compliments the gold. The quail is an adorable little thing. It looks so simple but cute. I like the play on expression with the head plume being a question mark. Therefore, marking his curiosity.

I also enjoy the 3-D effects of the wood block and the colorful pattern that sticks out. It gives great contrast mixing 2-D with 3-D.

I personally think the waxy feel gives great character and doesn't hinder this work of art.
