Encaustic detail
Encaustic:
Encaustic medium is a blend of beeswax and resin or castor wax and is applied in a molten state. Each layer or wax is fused to the layer below using intense heat. The effects that can be applied in an encaustic work result in a rich and luscious artwork. Encaustic medium is often used with other forms of mixed media to provide beautiful and varied effects.
Cold Wax:
A medium created from a blend of natural beeswax, resin, solvent and oil pigment.
The pigment is colour and light fast and of archival quality.
No heat is used in the cold wax painting process and is easily used in conjunction with other mixed media materials.
The finish of a cold wax artwork will be matt but can be buffed with a soft cloth to a satin sheen if desired.
What is encaustic and cold wax?
Cold wax detail
The substrate or painting base will be braced timber panels with the surrounding edges being natural timber. These braced panels will add to the strength and durability of the artwork.
