Encaustic sculpture. Encaustic is the ancient art of using beeswax and damar resin as an art medium. It was first used by the Ancient Egyptians and Greeks for their Fayum Mummy Portraits and there are approximately 600 still created 2000 to 3000 years ago still existing and in Museums today.

CARE OF ENCAUSTIC PAINTINGS

This painting is completed using beeswax, image transfer, and shellac and should not be exposed to direct sunlight or other heat sources which may damage the wax surface. It should also NOT be left in a car on a hot day. The surface can be gently “polished” from time to time to restore the sheen to the surface using soft material like an old T Shirt or stocking.
