Expressive Contemporary Encaustic Paintings
Hello, I’m Ruth Maude, a Canadian artist exhibiting encaustic paintings in the Greater Toronto Area.
My most recent works are expressive layered encaustic landscape paintings. They often start with an underpainting of playful creativity. I don’t work from reference photos of actual places; I paint intuitively, expressing the places I carry within me.
Encaustic is a painting technique that involves using pigmented hot wax to create art. I apply molten encaustic medium in layers with brushes, carefully fusing each layer with heat using tools like a heat gun, blow torch, or iron, resulting in rich textures and luminous surfaces.
