Encaustic paints are a versatile and instinctive medium applied molten to any absorbent, prepared surface. Also known as wax painting, encaustics can be reworked indefinitely allowing artists total control over their art. Best of all, encaustic paint is moisture proof and can be used in a variety of creative ways such as being remelted to create different effects, layered in opaque or translucent layers, modeled, textured, scraped, sculpted, polished, or combined with a variety of materials to create collage works.
