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.
