Encaustic is a painting technique that involves using heated beeswax mixed with colored pigments to create vibrant and textured artworks. This method allows for layering and manipulation of the paint while it remains warm, giving artists the ability to create depth and luminosity in their works. Encaustic can be applied on various surfaces, but it is particularly notable in the context of fresco and panel painting techniques for its durability and unique finish.
