What is the unique technique employed by Jasper in his early artwork?

  • Applying watercolor over glass

  • Mixing charcoal with acrylic

  • Painting with encaustic over a collage from found materials

  • Sculpting with clay and then painting over it

Answer

Painting with encaustic over collage from found materials is Jasper's distinct artistic approach. In his early artwork, he would assemble fragments of discarded objects and arrange them into cohesive compositions. These arrangements served as the foundation upon which he applied hot beeswax mixed with pigments, creating vibrant and textured surfaces.
