Carved Encaustic Wax Tides with Luminous Molten Undercurrents

Full prompt

A wide 16:9 landscape encaustic wax painting designed as a dynamic website hero image, capturing the rich physical texture of churning ocean tides. Layers of pigmented beeswax and damar resin are fused and carved horizontally across the broad panoramic format, revealing glowing undercurrents of ultramarine, viridian, and Caribbean turquoise. On the left and center, a powerful cresting wave builds with sculptural molten white wax, incised with delicate stylus grooves to depict froth. The motion smoothly transitions toward the right into calmer, translucent turquoise swells and gentle seafoam ripples, creating purposeful, balanced visual space suitable for clean web presentation while showcasing the tactile drips and beveled wax depths across the full canvas.
