Juliet Holmes a Court - Australian

138 x 138 cm, oil and wax on canvas

Wax can be used to create interesting textures in combination with oil paint. One artist I know has tried it but found they had slight problems with reduced adherence to the canvas. I would be interested to see comments from anyone who has tried using wax: has anyone else had problems, what sort of wax to use, and how to use it.
Here's a link to an article about encaustic painting (painting with wax medium).

John Glover

Sun Rise, Shropshire

The English painter John Glover is well known in Australia as one of the first Europeans to depict the Australian landscape. The pink in the clouds makes the neutral hues in the trees appear a very subtle green. Without the pink, this landscape would be a lifeless sepia. If the green hues were brighter they would detract from the delicacy of the evening sky. Colour, used in this contextual way, is magical.

Ric Amor is a contemporary Australian  painter whose work has a dreamlike quality. Hanging Rock has a mysterious, ominous presence in the Australian psyche due to the movie Picnic at Hanging Rock.
