Poppy Fresh (encaustic painting) is exactly as the title says, fresh. This is an encaustic painting an encaustic painting on a 12" x 12" x 1.5" panel. The sides are sealed natural birch. Encaustic painting is an ancient method using the mixture of hot beeswax and natural tree resin. It resists moisture and never fades. It's a very fun way to create a painting with depth and dimension.
