encaustic

Prepared by means of heat; burned in.

After all, no sealant or finish is necessary in the encaustic medium, and shellac is stinky, caustic and messy.

A wax-based paint that is fixed in place by heating.

It has become usual in discussions of Flags facture to use the terms, suggested by [Jasper] Johns himself, ‘encaustic', oil and collage on fabric’.

I have worked in encaustic and I really love encaustic printmaking, but when it comes to painting, I love my acrylics.

A painting produced using this type of paint.
