Encaustic

After all, no sealant or finish is necessary in the encaustic medium, and shellac is stinky, caustic and messy.

It has become usual in discussions of Flags facture to use the terms, suggested by [Jasper] Johns himself, ‘encaustic', oil and collage on fabric’.

I have worked in encaustic and I really love encaustic printmaking, but when it comes to painting, I love my acrylics.
