About the Painting Process
We are currently painting in the Encaustic medium. The word Encaustic comes from the Greek "Encausticos" meaning "to burn".
These paintings are made with the ancient process of melting beeswax and oil pigment together. Damar varnish is added to raise the melt temperature to 160 degrees. The result is archival, highly textured, and saturated with color. Examples of Encaustic painting from the Greek times still exist today. We hope you enjoy our work.
