Garden Fusion

Look through the garden on a summers day, see the fuchsia coloured leaves rise up.

This painting is created by the encaustic process or hot wax painting with coloured pigments.  It contains beeswax and damar resin.  It is a particularly satisfying medium to use and during the drying process (which is very quick) you can use many tools, scrapers and brushes to shape the medium. A blow torch or heat gun moves the wax around the surface.  I loved creating this painting

What Is Encaustics?

Encaustic is a Greek word meaning “to heat or burn in” (enkaustikos). Heat is used throughout the process, from melting the beeswax and varnish to fusing the layers of wax. Encaustic consists of natural bees wax and dammar resin (crystallized tree sap).

What Are The Care Instructions?

The finish of the paint is like a satin enamel. It can be buffed with a soft cloth resulting in a shiny finish and enhance the colours.

Encaustic paintings cure over time. This is due to the addition of dammar resin that makes the paint harder and more resilient over time. Varnishing is unnecessary, as encaustic contains beeswax which is highly water-resistant and is often used to varnish oil paintings. Because of this, encaustic is a very stable and long-lasting medium. Encaustic paint will melt at temperatures of 72°C and above, but it will remain solid in normal  conditions.  Avoid extreme temperatures both hot and cold.
