Description

Five small vintage figures stand at attention on this creamy encaustic artwork, waiting to start their march. Each is holding an instrument and are firmly attached to the wax background. The encaustic is built up of many layers of beeswax and resin over a colorful background, with ribbons crisscrossed in the front.

Encaustic comes from the Greek word "enkaustikos" which means "to burn (in)" and is an ancient form of art. Each melted wax layer is mixed with resin for strength and body. An encaustic art piece is made up of many layers and uses clear wax or natural wax (which has a warm yellow tint) and wax paint which also includes resin.. Special brushes are needed. The surface of the finished piece is either smooth or textured.
