Encaustic painting is a mixed media technique that involves using heated beeswax to which coloured pigments have been added. The molten wax is then applied to a surface. The term is derived from Greek, meaning ‘a burning in’.
How to care for encaustic work? If the surface looks dull or gets dusty it can buffed to a shine with a lint free cloth.
Encaustic paintings do not do well in extreme hot or cold temperatures keep at normal room temperatures.
