The only paint that melts and solidifies again? Encaustic is unlike any other. 🔥 This ancient wax-based medium dates back over 2,000 years, with luminous examples like the Fayum mummy portraits still intact today. The name “encaustic” comes from the Greek enkaustikos, meaning “to burn in”—a nod to the heat-fusing process that gives these paintings their signature glow. Thanks to modern tools and materials, encaustic is more accessible than ever. 👩🏻‍🎨 Presentation by Morgan from our Merchandising team 🤗 Thanks to our vendor partner rfpaints for the featured footage 🫶🏽 Special thanks to artist alicia.tormey whose work we included here 🎥 Filmed at Blick Studios in Chicago, Illinois. #encausticpainting #waxart #ancientart #mummyportraits #artisttools
