Original artwork description:

Modern encaustic makes it possible to do various combinations of artistic techniques. The first layer of this painting is painted with watercolour on paper. The paper is glued on a thick MDF panel. Then I painted with hot encaustic (it is a mixture of beeswax, dammar resin, pigment.) This mixture is called wax medium. It is heated on a special cooker to a temperature of about 190 degrees Fahrenheit. Each layer is additionally fused to the previous one. I used a special hairdryer. Not the kind you dry your hair with. On top of the even layer of medium, I applied an extra thickness on which I made the structure. The structure is also fused with the previous layers.
The result is a pattern with an interesting texture. The surface is smooth, hard with a slight satin sheen.
The melting point of wax medium is degrees Fahrenheit (or 70 degrees Celsius). So even in the hottest of summers, the layers of the painting will remain intact.
