Encaustic painting is 3000 year old and is a form of painting that involves a heated wax medium (beeswax and damar resin) to which coloured pigments such as inks, oil paints, pastels or other forms of pigmentation have been added. The molten mix is applied to a surface—usually prepared wood. Metal tools and natural bristle brushes are used to shape the medium as it cools. A heat gun or blow torch is used to fuse and bind the medium.
Shellac burn - shellac is applied from the tin and can be pigmented using Pan pastels. Applied within 60secs and allowed to dry for up to 15mins the shellac has a burn window of unto an hour. The spidery effect is the shellac burn.
