Fake Wax

Encaustic, or wax, is a beautiful medium whose use in art can be dated to early Egypt. Wax, when used in painting, imparts a magical sheen, sensual warm refraction, and tactile surface with subtle translucent qualities. There are some downsides to working with wax. Wax can pose a challenge for transport and storage with its delicate surface. Acrylic, however, can easily replicate wax effects while remaining nontoxic and offering more stable surfaces. This technique offers the simplest faking method: using layers of matte gel, with suggestions for enhancements at the end.
