There are so many different categories for Encaustics. My paintings are layered beeswax and resin with some mixed media such as lac resin, oil paint, powdered pigment and much more. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or comments.
The Wax and damar are melted, then pigment is added for color. The wax is kept molten until applied to the painting surface.If Lac is used, the flakes, granules are embedded into the wax or used in liquid form for multiple kinds of results.
