Middle ground – Glazing technique for light and transparency: A woman sits by the table, dressed in a flowing white dress that flutters in the breeze. Her bare feet sink into the warm sand as her fingers trace the last written letter. The wind plays with her hair, and her gaze is lost on the horizon, where the setting sun paints the sea in shades of orange and violet. Gentle color transitions in the glazing technique create a sense of warmth and nostalgia. Background – Wax in deep blue shades: The sea is calm, but floating on the waves is an old glass bottle, half-submerged in the water. Through the transparent surface, another letter can be seen, tightly rolled and sealed with wax. Was this once her letter? Or is it the answer she’s been waiting for all her life? The story of the scene: They say this island reveals itself only to those whom fate calls. Letters that never reached their intended recipients end up here, between the palms and golden sands. Every soul that arrives leaves behind a story, and maybe... just maybe, one day, they will find an answer.

The silhouettes of hurried passersby momentarily obscure the light as they cross the bridge, unaware of the scene below. Heavy raindrops slide down the stone, leaving glossy streaks in the wax layer, adding depth and the chilling atmosphere of a damp, cold night. Background – Sgraffito on Wax in Blue Shades: Beyond the bridge, the city stretches into the mist, illuminated only by the distant glow of windows. The rain-streaked sky, etched into the wax surface using the sgraffito technique, reveals silver and bluish hues of the night, adding mystery and solitude to the scene. In the distance, behind the window of a café, the silhouette of a woman watching the rain is visible—the only person who has noticed the light beneath the bridge.
Prompt: Prompt by jexiq q: <<Masterpiece>>: Scene Description: Wax and Egg Tempera Technique: Golden Dusk in the Old Forge.
Foreground – Wax in rich, warm tones: The old forge glows under the golden dusk light. The fire from the hearth casts flickering reflections on the blacksmith’s hands, sculpted in wax to capture their strength and weariness, the cracked skin and callouses from years of labor. He lifts a glowing piece of metal with tongs, sparks flying across the stone floor, frozen in droplets of wax, while his eyes gleam with deep focus. Middle ground – Egg tempera for subtle contrast: On a worn wooden table, scattered tools rest—hammers, files, and molds, all covered in a thin layer of ash. Egg tempera adds soft light transitions, giving the metal objects an aged patina. On the wall, rusty nails hold old blueprints of swords and tools, their edges curled from time, as the lamp's glow reflects off them in thin golden lines. Background – Wax in gray and blue tones: The open doorway leads to the courtyard, where evening mist slowly covers the stones and wooden barrels. The sky blends in amber radiance and the encroaching blue of the night. In the distance, the shadow of a young man approaching to receive his first forged sword begins to take shape. The wind carries the scent of soot and summer flowers, as the silence of the night settles over the warm metal and the hands that shape it. The scene radiates the warmth of craftsmanship, the battle between fire and metal, and the story of effort, strength, and artistry in the hands of a master.
Prompt: Prompt by jexiq q: <<Masterpiece>>: Scene Description: Encaustic Technique: Flame in the Night.
Foreground – Wax in Rich, Warm Tones: At the center of the scene, an elderly man sits wrapped in a tattered woolen coat, his trembling hands reaching toward a small flickering fire. The warm layers of wax shape his weathered face, highlighting the deep wrinkles and tired eyes, while the fire casts an amber glow on his sharp cheekbones, leaving soft shadows on his sunken features. Beside him, a Russian Blue cat curls up, its dense fur absorbing and reflecting the orange hues of the flames. The wax melts into its smooth form, giving it a subtle sheen, while its long whiskers barely catch the shifting light and shadows. Middle Ground – Encaustic in a Contrast of Warm and Cool Tones
Behind them, a white dog rests against an old wooden crate, half-covered in a ragged blanket, its paws sinking into the snow. Its half-closed eyes remain watchful, listening to the invisible whispers of the night. The snow around it is sculpted with textured layers of wax, with hints of blues and purples that evoke the deep chill of winter. Background – The Transparency of Wax and a Blend of Techniques: In the distance, the winter night stretches endlessly toward the horizon. The sky, a deep indigo with silver undertones, fades into the silhouettes of towering, bare trees, their branches coated in a delicate layer of ice. The stars, painted with tiny specks of wax, glisten like frozen droplets suspended in the vast cold. The trees cast long, ghostly shadows over the snow, blending into the darkness, while wisps of smoke from the small fire rise slowly, dissolving into the night. Scene Dynamics: This composition uses encaustic to emphasize contrasts— the warmth of fire against the biting cold, the softness of fur against the harshness of ice. Together, they weave a story of survival, quiet companionship, and the fragile warmth of hope in an unforgiving winter.
Prompt: Prompt by jexiq q: <<Masterpiece>>: Scene Description: Encaustic, Sfumato and Glazing Technique: The Forgotten Bell on the Cliff.
Foreground (Wax – Encaustic, for the rich texture of the rock and patina on the bell):At the edge of a rugged cliff, buried in moss and sand, lay an old bronze bell, covered in layers of time. Its surface was worn, but the wax technique captured the greenish patina and the faint traces of ancient symbols that once adorned the metal. The bell was cracked in one place, and beside it, a decayed wooden frame hinted that it was once part of something greater. Middle ground (Alla Prima – for bold, dynamic strokes in the stormy sky and landscape): Behind the bell, grass and wildflowers bent under the force of the wind. The sky was turbulent, swirling in blue-gray spirals, while golden streaks of sunlight pierced through, casting dramatic lighting effects across the cliff and the waves below. A storm was in the air, and the sea far below crashed against the rocks, sending sprays of water high into the air. Background (Glazing – for soft light transitions on the horizon and deep atmospheric perspective): On the horizon, shadows of sunken towers from a long-lost city could be seen, now swallowed by the sea. Waves crashed against the unseen ruins, while the last rays of sunlight sank into the distance, just before the storm fully took over the sky. The sky was a blend of purples and golds, slowly darkening into deep blues.
Prompt: Prompt by jexiq q: <<Masterpiece>>: Scene Description: Encaustic, Sfumato and Glazing Technique: Frozen Refuge.
The night is silent yet sharp, as icy winds carry tiny snowflakes that settle on the frozen ground. On the lake’s surface, a lonely boat lies trapped in the ice, its wooden structure covered in crystalline frost. Mist creeps low, erasing the boundaries between water and sky.
Foreground (Encaustic – Wax for ice texture and light reflection): Thick layers of wax create the ice texture on the boat and reflect the lantern's glow on the frozen surface. Cracks in the ice spread like delicate patterns, catching faint traces of distant light. Snow softly absorbs the warm flicker of the lantern, while footprints in the frost lead toward a distant cabin. Middle ground (Sfumato – for mist and subtle tonal transitions): A small wooden cabin stands alone among bare trees, veiled in thick mist. Its windows glow faintly, revealing signs of life, while smoke drifts from the chimney, dissolving into the snow-laden night. A cloaked figure stands at the doorstep, holding a lantern that flickers across the snow. The mist blurs the edges of shadows, blending darkness with light. Background (Glazing – for ethereal depth and sky reflection): The night sky above the forest shifts between shades of deep blue and silver as moonlight pierces through thin clouds. Tall trees, their branches coated in frost, stand like silent guardians, their shadows stretching over the snow. The reflection of the sky in the ice adds a sense of depth, making the scene feel almost otherworldly.
Prompt: Prompt by jexiq q: <<Masterpiece>>: Scene Description: Encaustic, Impasto and Chiaroscuro Technique: Warmth in a Cold Night.
Foreground (Wax – Encaustic, for the rich texture of the cloak and dogs' fur): A homeless man sat huddled beneath an old, tattered blanket, leaning against the cold wall of an abandoned building. His gray, unkempt beard was dusted with snow, and his cracked hands gently embraced two dogs nestled close to him. One dog was large, thick-furred like a husky, while the other was small, perhaps a stray mutt, curled up by his feet. The wax technique captured the subtle transition of warmth between their bodies against the freezing environment, giving them a soft, almost glowing outline. Middle ground (Impasto – for the thick texture of the snow and building walls): Behind them, the wall of the building was chipped and covered in graffiti, with layers of old paint peeling under the weight of time. Snowflakes fell thickly, accumulating unevenly on the ground, shaped by the wind. The impasto technique gave the snow a sense of weight and volume, making the flakes on the homeless man's shoulders and on the back of the large dog feel almost tangible. Background (Chiaroscuro – interplay of light and shadow in the street atmosphere): A dim streetlamp cast a faint yellowish glow, illuminating the wisps of breath rising from their mouths. In the distance, silhouettes of passersby moved, too engrossed in their own worlds to notice them. Beyond the building, a flickering neon sign cast shifting shadows, lighting up the streets marked by footprints in the snow.
Prompt: Prompt by jexiq q: <<Masterpiece>>: Scene Description: Encaustic, sfumato and alla prima Technique: Frozen Refuge.
Foreground (Wax technique): An old man with weary eyes and frostbitten hands stands in front of a half-buried wooden cabin. His coat is covered in a thin layer of ice, his breath visible in the freezing air. The wax technique enhances the texture of his weathered skin and the frost clinging to his clothes, making the cold almost tangible. He holds an antique key in his hand but hesitates to place it in the lock, as if trapped between past and present. Middle ground (Sfumato technique): The cabin, softened by the hazy snowfall, looks abandoned, yet footprints in the snow reveal that someone has been here recently. The windows are fogged up, and a faint light seeps through the cracks. An old lantern, frozen solid, hangs from the eaves. The blurred edges, created through sfumato, enhance the mystery—blending light and shadow seamlessly, making the structure appear like a memory frozen in time. Background (Alla prima technique): A mist-covered forest bathed in moonlight stretches into the distance. Faint silhouettes appear between the trees—perhaps shadows of the past, perhaps wild animals. The alla prima brushwork captures the spontaneity of the falling snow and the crisp glow of the moon, casting a cold, bluish light over the landscape. The scene feels like it exists between reality and dream.
