Beeswax is moisture-resistant, preventing deterioration, yellowing, or darkening.Encaustic can be used alone for its transparency or combined with pigments. Layers of the medium are melted and applied, then reheated to fuse them together.Beginners welcome! <h3>Links:</h3> Website: <a href="https://www.amandapierceart.com" title="https://www.amandapierceart.com" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">AmandaPierceArt.com</a> Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/amanda.pierce.art/" title="https://www.instagram.com/amanda.pierce.art/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">@amanda.pierce.art</a> Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/AmandaPierceArt" title="https://www.facebook.com/AmandaPierceArt" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Facebook/AmandaPierceArt</a> YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com" title="https://www.youtube.com" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">My YouTube channel</a>
