Description

An encaustic abstract reflecting the tropical colors of the Caribbean. This was made to go with a second encaustic piece as a Dyptich (two part art), but it can be purchased as a single print rather than both if you desire. The hot wax colors were painted on and swirled together with collage elements for an exotic work of art.

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.
