One of the world's oldest painting mediums, encaustic paint is made of
pigment suspended in beeswax and resin. The paint must be melted on a heated palette before use. Once the brush leaves the palette, the wax
begins to cool and harden, so the painter must work quickly.

I paint using this original "true encaustic" recipe which provides a translucent quality, exceptional depth of color, and distinctive surface texture.
