Encaustic paints are one of the oldest types of art paint and have been around since the 1st century. These are made using wax which is colored with pigments and needs to be heated before you can use them. They are often suitable for painting on wooden surfaces, but can also be used on canvas. Encaustic is a water-repellant paint and therefore cannot be mixed with water. Once you heat your pigment, you will either need some metal tools or a brush to apply it. You would again need to heat the entire painting upon completion so that the paint fuses with the surface. If you want to add more layers, you will need to add heat so that the new layer fuses with the previous one.
