Glossary of terms:
Mixed media collage’ – the use of paint, paper, photographs and three-dimensional objects to create a personal work of art.
Encaustic oil painting– (hot wax) comes to us through time from ancient Greece, 5thcentury B.C. Beeswax is the oldest known pigment binder. Encaustic literally means, “burning in”. The process involves adding pigment to molten bees wax and resin, which is applied to a surface. The surface itself is warm allowing for manipulation of the encaustic paint. It may also be cooled causing the brush strokes to “freeze” immediately. The final treatment is the “burning in” which consists of passing a heat source over the surface, causing a fusing and bonding of the painting. The surface is then polished with a soft cloth, which brings out a nice sheen.
