This is a 6x6 encaustic painting. From time to time I like to try out new media. It keeps my work fresh and helps me avoid artists block.
More of this kind of work is available from my Etsy store.
Encaustics are paintings done using melted beeswax with or without a medium called damar resin. Damar resin helps harden the wax, making it more durable and transparent. The finished painting has a wonderful mild honey scent. One can paint with colored wax alone, as in this example, or use a mixed media approach , incorporating collage and other media. It's a versatile medium, lots of fun, and is gaining in popularit
