| Encaustic painting, also known as hot wax painting, is a technique that has beed used for over two thousand years dating back to ancient Greece and Egypt. This technique involves using heated beeswax to which colored pigments are added. The liquid/paste is then applied to a surface which is usually prepared wood, though canvas and other materials are often used. Metal tools and special brushes are used to shape the paint before it cools, or heated metal tools are used to manipulate the wax once it has cooled onto the surface. |
