Encaustic is the oldest painting technique still in use today. In ancient Greece (c. 400 B. C.) artists took encaustic art in two directions- flat for easel paintings/ portraits and fully dimensional for the polychroming of clay and marble statues. The encaustic painting technique uses wax (beeswax) and pigments. The Egyptians mastered the art of encaustic painting evidenced by the famous mummy portraits (Faiyum District c. 100 B.C.- 200A.D).
