Into The Light & A Pastel Portrait

I took a couple of  Ivy Newport classes.
The first one is a free video class that she offers called 'Into The Light'.  It's a mixed media and Encaustic Wax class.  I really enjoyed doing this class, and I learned a lot in it.
Here is the project I made:
The wings are handmade using a thin wire and tissue paper, then sealed with the encaustic wax....and there are two coats of the encaustic wax on the board.

The second class I took is a paid class.  It's from her Ala Carte lessons.  It's called 'A Pastel Portrait'
It's the first time I used pastels, and it was enjoyable to work with.  
Here is the project I made:

Ivy is an excellent teacher, very helpful and she really explains each step along the way.
I will probably be taking more of her classes :)
