The versatility of encaustic waxes, coloured with pigments, then applied and tooled with low-heat instruments or used with hair brushes from a molten palette is truly outstanding. Portraits have been painted this way for more than 2000 years and today there is a strong resurgence of interest and activity in the field of encaustic. Several companies world-wide have picked up the challenge of bringing this medium to a point of true revolution; a re-birth of heat and wax techniques with materials that offer unusual luminosity, durability, style and creative potential. |
