Encaustic on Japanese paper

13,5 x 10.5

Encaustic Monotypes are one-of-a-kind paintings. They are created on a heated palette using encaustic pigment. The encaustic is then transferred to paper much like a printing process. It cannot be duplicated.  The monotype is made by laying a thin piece of paper on hot wax. Once the paper is put down and pressed into the wax, the wax soaks into the paper, the exact design and thickness of wax can never be repeated.
