| Encaustic is a technique of painting with hot melted beeswax that has been mixed with damar resin. Pure pigment colors are added to the melted wax. The mixture is melted on a hot plate set at a low heat in metal containers until it is easy to spread. Wooden substrates are often used as a firm support and each layer of wax is fused with a torch or heat gun. Wax can be applied by brush and other tools, using many techniques. The process dates back to Ancient Greece where it was often used for portraits. |
