Encaustic Paints

Encaustic paints are art mediums made by blending pigment with hot, beeswax-based wax. Artists apply these paints while warm to create rich, luminous layers that can be fused together through reheating, resulting in durable, textured artwork. The process allows for blending and reworking the surface, offering unique depth and vibrancy. Encaustic painting has ancient roots, dating back thousands of years, and is prized for its versatile, luminous qualities and ability to incorporate other materials like resin or collage elements to enrich the final piece.
