What is "encaustic"?
Encaustic is a painting technique that uses melted wax mixed with pigments to create artwork. The wax is applied to a surface, such as wood or canvas, and then heated to melt and blend the layers together. This method produces rich textures and vibrant colors, and the resulting paintings are durable and resistant to damage. Encaustic painting has been used since ancient times and is valued for its unique qualities.
