To learn How to Paint Encaustic, start by melting beeswax and damar resin to create the encaustic medium. Once melted, you can add pigment for color. Use a brush to apply the wax onto a prepared surface like wood, canvas, or paper. After applying each layer, use a heat source such as a heat gun or blow torch to fuse the wax layers together. Experiment with layering, scraping, and adding mixed media elements. How to Paint Encaustic is all about exploration and creating a luminous, textured finish.
