“Choate Island Manor” – Encaustic landscape painting on wood. Encaustic painting, also known as hot wax painting, is a form of painting that involves a heated wax medium to which colored pigments have been added. Comes in a shadowbox frame that is wired and ready to hang.
Measures approximately 7-1/2 by 7-1/2 inches. Width of frame is 1-1/4 inches thick.
Care Instructions:
It would take intense direct heat to damage an encaustic painting, but subzero temperatures cause the wax to become brittle and can lead to cracking. One should not leave an encaustic painting in direct sunlight or intense cold, because extreme temperatures can damage any fine painting. Also, do not hang the painting above or near a fireplace or other heating source.
Although the surface is completely dry, encaustic paintings can be scratched, gouged, or chipped if handled roughly.
Encaustic paintings can be buffed using a soft, lint-free cloth. This sheen dulls over time and can be brought back by repeating the process.
