The index below will guide you around this area of the encaustic site which relates to "artwork" approaches. These include a closer look at all sorts of waxes, recipes for making encaustic medium, what supports might be useful, tools, approaches, finishes and cautions too.

The versatility of encaustic waxes, coloured with pigments, then applied and tooled with low-heat instruments or used with hair brushes from a molten palette is truly outstanding. Portraits have been painted this way for more than 2000 years and today there is a strong resurgence of interest and activity in the field of encaustic. Several companies world-wide have picked up the challenge of bringing this medium to a point of true revolution; a re-birth of heat and wax techniques with materials that offer unusual luminosity, durability, style and creative potential.
