Oh I love using wax with watercolour. It makes me think of happy childhood days using white crayons on eggs to make a reductive image and then dipping it in the colour to be surprised by the effect. I love your colours but I am a colour junkie!

I have similar egg-related childhood memories. Fun times. I wonder what effects could be made on other kinds of bird eggs, imagine the possibilities with an emu egg.
P.S. All color junkies are welcome here!

Whoa, that would be amazing. These would be great for carving out the colour delicately, I'd probably break it myself tho!

It has a psychedelic feel to it! Loved this :)
Reminds me of the stained glasses they have here in the forts of Rajasthan <3

Thank you, @aishwarya! Psychedelic stained glass, very cool. I'm going to look up those forts now...

What a stunning site! The geometry of the architecture is eye catching on its own. Those candy colored stained glass pieces are like surprise jewels, they seem so unexpected from the looks of the exterior. One day I'll travel farther abroad to absorb these kinds of places in person. Thanks for guiding me to the forts of Rajasthan, @aishwarya!

Glad you liked them! Rajasthan has amazing forts that one could simple be mesmerised by.
Whenever you do, let me know :)

Those transitions between the colors are really cool, they overlap so brilliantly. 🙌 A colorful chaos, marvelous indeed! 💃

Trippy. It looks like stained glass!
WIPs just tend to wither away on my hard drive. So many unfinished novels! Maybe if I printed them out and left them around the office they'd chide me into completing them.

I got a little of that stained glass vibe too. Yes, clutter your space with them and they will talk to you! Locked in stasis they tend to keep quiet. You could pull a Terry Pratchett, then no one will ever know.

Nooooo........
Actually, considering some of the stuff on that hard drive,
Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayybe!

Well, you've got yourself the makings of a time capsule then!

I'm still a bit confused on the wax aspct of it lol It looks like you used metallic paint again, which I'm a big fan of, even though I haven't used any myself (mainly because I don't own any!). I really like the design!
I often have WIP's that just sit there for week son end, or at least a few days. Right now I have a piece for the trial by comics that has been sitting here for two days untouched, I think my goal today is to finish it!

For this piece I used watercolor brush markers, metallic watercolor, and a subtle bit of wax. I wasn't sure what to expect from the wax at first because these watercolor markers are not as intense as the liquid acrylic. So it was used sparingly this time. I'm looking forward to integrating wax into my normal media!
Since you put out work on a steady basis, you don't strike me as a person with a lot of unfinished projects lying around. Now that the day has gone by, have you reached your goal? ☺
I've highlighted a few places in yellow to show where some of the wax is:

I'm still a little confused on the wax, is it melted?
I guess I don't have too many unfinished projects as much as how long I will procrastinate from when I start them to finish them, but I guess I usually finish a piece in a few weeks (when it could be days if I actually stuck with it!) Like the one I posted today I probably could have had done by Tuesday, but here it is Friday before I finished it. Of course, it would have been longer if I didn't have a deadline since it is part of a contest!

No it was much simpler! I just used some crayons to color on the paper lightly before I added any watercolor, kindergarten style :D
Deadlines help, I agree. Some pressure is preferable to none when it comes to procrastination.
I'm waiting for DT to load your speed painting. The Internet is suuuperslllowww today, I've been waiting for an hour! You're renown is seriously growing with every new work you post, I give you props.

ahhhh, see I'm over here imagining you taking a candle and like melting the wax with a lighter and dripping it on the page or something! I was going to the extreme apparently, ha.
I try to rotate through my procrastinations so even when i'm avoiding one thing I work on another, previously procrastinated thing.
I know, sometimes DT takes FOREVER to load (or to upload my videos). It can be a bit annoying, I thought about posting to YouTube instead but I decided I should try to stay with what other steemians will porbably consider the "cool" place for videos ;) (but it definitely needs some work.....)
Thanks for the flattery! I just try to get better with each piece!

Mixing different materials is so much fun! Definitely looking forward to mixing more wax and water. A kite, I can see that. Thank you ☺

Amazing work! Watercolors are an underestimated master medium! I still have to learn it (back...used to paint watercolors a lot, only oil now). Thanks for great post! :)

I appreciate your compliment, it's always an honor coming from an esteemed artist such as yourself! I can only imagine what you can do with watercolor after seeing your oils.
I enjoyed your Angel Swing progression today. The final version spoke to me the loudest because once you pushed the darks darker, the light in the center shone even brighter. ☺

How long do you keep unfinished work before disposing of it?
What triggers you to complete WIPs in your own life?
I never get rid of my stuff. I just let the papers pile up and up and up until I am surrounded by stacks of paper. At this time I like to pretend the papers are actually the trees I killed to make those stacks. So I am living in a paper creative forest really. I am forced to finish things when the forest becomes overgrown and may start falling in on me lol.
I exsagerate of course but I do just keep it all. My office is just filled with cabinetes filled with doodles and drawings. Heck I think your face has a whole stack somethere in the mix.

Oh I've never thought of using wax before. Nice painting. :)
As for WIPs, come to think of it...I don't think I have any? I always get to finish them. Most of the time it's the stories I write that don't get finished at all. That's a bummer.

Thanks for stopping by to have a look this older post. WIPs are great, especially when they've had plenty of time to sit. Coming back to finish an old piece of work has a definite satisfaction - taking care of unfinished business.
Do you keep your unfinished stories for later?

There are plenty of writing contests here on steem. So, who knows, maybe one of your unfinished stories can be used for a future post.☺

But the unfinished story is still unfinished. Haha, don't know how to finish it yet. I have written several parts of it over time but then the file either gets corrupted, I lose my phone or the paper disappears so I dunno. Maybe it's meant to be unfinished.

Maybe so. I suppose only time will tell for sure with that one.
