ENCAUSTIC is a Greek word meaning “to heat or burn in” (enkaustikos).
Encaustic consists of natural bees wax and dammar resin (crystallized tree sap). I use R&F encaustic gesso, wax medium, as well as their pigment wax blocks and pigment sticks. Using a selection of brushes, carving tool and a heated stylus, I “paint” with the hot wax.
