Over 2000 years ago the ancient Greeks, Egyptians and Romans used coloured wax as a painting medium. It was melted, dyed and used to create artwork. From ancient art is born modern art where the eyes of each individual will notice different images. Whether a landscape or fantasy world, the overall effect is pleasing, distinctive and completely original. Encaustic art will last a lifetime and longer. In the British Museum, examples can be found which are nearly 2000 years old!
