CARE OF ENCAUSTIC PAINTINGS
This painting is completed using beeswax, damar resin and image transfer 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.
