Abstract

Encaustic on panel

Encaustics is a Greek word and means “to burn in”. It is the use of bees wax and dammar crystals, melted with a heat gun or blow torch. I love the rich, translucent colors I can achieve, and the versatility of the medium.

I seem to have replaced a paint brush with a blow torch when creating my art. The inability to completely control the medium is exciting and challenging for me. The torch allows me to manipulate the wax, but not completely control it. The wax gives me the ability to become more fluid in my work. I am only limited by my imagination. (KD)
