Encaustic painting is an ancient from of art that has been rediscovered and become popular in recent years.

It involves painting layers of a hot bees wax medium, each time fusing the layers together by burning and melting the wax, the liquid nature ensures no two pieces are alike, by adding pigments and other mediums you can produce complex pieces with great depth and a wonderful luminous glow unlike any other medium.
