Explore encaustic painting as you play with transparent and translucent layers of color. Diluted encaustic pigment creates beautiful transparent color when applied to a prepared gessoed board. Learn how to overlap transparent layers of color to create new colors and add both depth and subtlety to your encaustic paintings. Encaustic painting is unique in that pigment is suspended in a clear medium that allows light to pour in and bounce back, create that unique glow.
