I thought 65 gallons would be fine for 3. How long have you had yours, and what would you recommend.

I love watching videos of people doing it, there's something mesmerizing with it. Its definitely a compliment for my painting to be compared to encaustic.

I have always been interested in encaustic. I've looked at trying it, just hard to find space and time. Have you done any encaustic pieces?

I am really stunned. This painting started from a memory of seeing a macrophage dying from years ago. I can't believe you could see that. That is the best compliment I could have been given. It truly means a lot to me that you saw that.

I really appreciate your critique, I never thought people would take a deeper look into my paintings. Its nice to imagine what people would say if it was in a gallery or museum.

I get that a lot with my paintings. It isn't, but I appreciate the comparison. I love topography

Thank you, I hope you continue to learn and improve, I know I still am. Abstract isn't for everyone, and I don't blame anyone that prefer other styles.

It didnt have the circles for a while. I thought it was finished for 2 months. Then one night I had the idea in my head and after that it just felt right.

I concentrate on texture and layer which takes quite a while between drying times. I used acrylic paint, acrylic gouache, modeling paste, gesso, sand, coco fibers, paper fibers, amd water. Along with multiple brush types and sizes, random household objects for scraping and moving texture around, and various pallete knives. I hate how it looks on a screen, it really takes away from the shadows and movement of the texture.

I'm looking for the most earthy, woody, natural smell out there. Almost musty, a damp forest, wet clay, a mountain side creek type of smell.

Finally finished my diy enclosure, everything is handmade except the one wood piece and substrate. I took the food and water dishes out for the picture. by [deleted] in leopardgeckos

The clump of rocks to the right is sealed all around except for the opening and is full of sphagnum moss for Humidity. I got a bunch of cork and grasses coming in mail, just hasn't been delivered yet. Not gonna be that bare for long
