Encaustic: What is it?
For our purposes, the encaustic art on this page is made from beeswax, damar resin and pigment. It is heated, layered and fused onto cradled wooden boards. It is an ancient (2000years +) medium and extremely archival.
Collectors ask, “Will my painting melt?” Wax melts at around 75C, so if these paintings melt, your house is on fire. That said, you ought not to hang any original art in direct sunlight, nor expose it to temperatures below freezing.
