What is Encaustic Painting?

Encaustic painting is an ancient technique that uses heated wax to create a textured, three-dimensional effect on canvas or other surfaces. The word "encaustic" comes from the Greek word "enkaustikos," which means "burning in." Encaustic paintings are created by melting beeswax and mixing it with pigments, resin, and other materials to create a rich and vibrant medium that can be molded, layered, and textured in countless ways.
