Encaustics
Encaustic
(which also goes by "hot wax painting") is an ancient technique. The artist heats beeswax to the liquid stage, then mixes in pigmentation. The resulting medium is applied to a surface (typically: wood). After the artist has everything "just so", heat is applied to the whole business, which results in a fusion of colored wax and wood.
