What is fusing? Why do you do "The Freezer Test"? Why can't I buy from encausticpaints.com? Are blow torches safe to use? Are encaustic paintings permanent?  What type of mill does Enkaustikos use?

Over the years, we have received a lot of the same questions about encaustic painting techniques, encaustic products, and of course, our company.  We decided to compile those frequently asked questions and provide an informative database of answers on our website.  Next time you find you have a question, check the website and you will most likely find an answer!  See the Frequently Asked Questions section.

To help enlighten artists about the unique and exciting possibilities of encaustic paint, Enkaustikos created an informative art instructional DVD, Heat Up Your Art! In this hour long DVD, encaustic artist and Enkaustikos employee, Kathryn Bevier walks viewers through the encaustic process.  Starting with the basics like studio set up and safety guidelines, Kathryn  goes into great detail about a variety of encaustic painting techniques.  This video includes several painting demonstrations and is full of wonderful artist advice! 

Be on the lookout for the DVD at a retailer nearest you.
