Encaustic paintings, are a wax based paint (composed of
beeswax, resin and pigment), that are kept molten on a heated
palette. It are applied to a porous surface and then reheated in
order to fuse the paint. The word ‘encaustic’ has no connection
to the word caustic: it comes from the Greek word enkaiein,
meaning to burn in, referring to the process of fusing the paint.
