Difficult to believe, just give me a few moments to explain. Eight years ago I stumbled into this art form and found it easy to learn and extremely addictive. It is so entrancing that it pulls your mind away from the serious thoughts you were focused on just minutes before. Encaustic painting is a very ancient practice and one the Egyptians used over 2000 years ago to decorate what have been titled the Fayum paintings. Those art works are as brilliant today as they were then. Of course we have a few tools they didn't have and that lets you plug and play instantly. Encaustics means you use melted wax to paint with. Mentioning that you paint with wax might stop someone in their tracks until they watch the process in action, and then they can't wait to get their hands on the tools. The major tool used is a small iron on which you melt colored wax and while it is still liquid you turn the iron over and begin to push the wax around on the surface. Each slight motion brings another effect and soon there is an assortment of abstract designs appearing with ease. These abstract designs can be assembled into realistic images. You become an instant artist and you will be impressed with your ability. I have taught enough of these encaustic art classes to prove that to myself over and over again. Within this site you will find both an introduction to this process and the many different ways you can work with wax. If you have been looking for a creative outlet and just have not found that perfect pastime, check this out to get a feel for what encaustic painting is all about. You will not be disappointed. Welcome to this fun and easy art form. I have a lot of my images at the following site to view and if yourinterested in purchasing them they are available from cards to larger reproductions on different surfaces from canvas to watercolor paper both framed and unframed. http://john-vandebrooke.artistwebsites.com/
