Hello Christel welcome to steemit! I'm new as well, I joined last week so I'm not going to be much help on the technical stuff. I see your into encaustics! I work with the medium too and love it. I'll be sure to follow you and can't wait to see some of your work! Here's one of my paintings done with encaustic and oils: feel free to check out some of my artwork @admwolgamott, I'm always open for some constructive criticism.
