Encaustic Artist

2008.12.03






A demonstration of encaustic techniques.

"The tools and materials for encaustic painting include equipment for melting the wax, tools for applying and manipulating the wax, pigments to color the wax and rigid surfaces to paint on. Beeswax is the basic wax ingredient but it melts at a very low temperature (120 degrees F). Damar resin, which must be melted and strained, can be added to raise the melting temperature and add a slight sheen."


Art should astonish, transmute, transfix. One must work at the tissue between truth and paranoia.

Peche Whiteley was truly one of the most transformative artists to have lived - and your post lives up to those words he envokes, of astonishing... I have never heard of this style of art before!
The first shot, the tight composition and the movement, is my favoured :)
