What sets encaustics apart from other types of painting?
Encaustic paint is made by blending beeswax, damar resin, and pigment. Heated to 250 degrees, the Robin applies the molten medium onto a wood panel, fusing it to the surface with a blowtorch. For added texture and detail, the Robin refines the piece through scraping and carving with a variety of tools. The result is a luminous work of art, rich in color and depth.
