I made this one-of-a-kind painting in encaustic wax and mixed media in my Toowoomba studio. The layers of wax give it a soft, tactile surface that catches the light as you move past it. At 33 × 33 cm, it’s a lovely size for a hallway, a bedside wall or a gallery wall that could use a little personality.
Artist — Karen Canning, Studio fifty three
Medium — Encaustic wax and mixed media
Size — 33 × 33 cm
Artwork — One-of-a-kind original painting
Encaustic painting is an ancient art form that uses natural beeswax mixed with damar resin (a tree sap) and pigments to create beautifully layered, luminous artworks. Each layer of wax is painted on while warm and then fused with heat, giving the surface a gorgeous depth and a soft, tactile quality you can’t get with other mediums. Every piece is unique, with textures and details that shift and change as the light catches them.
Encaustic wax is surprisingly durable. It’s been around since ancient Egypt, after all! Your piece won’t melt under normal home conditions, but it’s best to keep it away from direct sunlight, heaters or extreme heat. Dust it gently with a soft cloth if needed. Over time, you may notice the surface developing a soft, natural sheen. This is perfectly normal and part of the charm of encaustic art. With just a little love, your artwork will last for generations.
I’m delighted to send my artwork to collectors all around the world. Shipping costs vary depending on the size and weight of the packed artwork and where it’s headed.
