"This is a very old method of "painting" that can be dated as far back as the ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Romans. Heated coloured wax is applied hot to a surface in a series of layers.It's recent revival is due to a strong Dutch interest in encaustic art. The major practitioners being based in the Netherlands. On the web there are some very informative sites. For those who have some tired old masks this may be just the method to employ in search of their renovation.
