Waxing Poetic: Spotlight on Encaustic Artists

Introduction

Welcome to Waxing Poetic, where we delve into the captivating and versatile world of encaustic art. Here at NBOL Agency, we are passionate about promoting and shining a spotlight on talented encaustic artists who bring this ancient art form to life.

The Beauty of Encaustic Art

Encaustic art is a timeless medium that dates back to the days of ancient Greece and Egypt. It involves using heated beeswax mixed with pigments to create stunning and textured artwork. The wax is applied to a surface, usually wood or canvas, and then fused with heat to create a durable and captivating piece of art.

One of the reasons why encaustic art is so unique is the depth and luminosity it achieves through layers and transparency. Artists can build multiple layers, adding depth and creating intricate textures. The versatility of encaustic art allows artists to incorporate various techniques such as scraping, incising, and embedding objects into the wax.
