Description: Ampersand Encausticbord 7/8" Cradled 16 x 20 inches
IDEAL FOR ALL TYPES OF ENCAUSTICS, OILS, IMAGE-TRANSFERS AND COLLAGE An Archival New Panel Made for the Unique Demands of Encaustic Painting Encausticbord has a ready-to-use surface formulated for the unique demands of encaustic painting and mixed media. Encaustic gesso is applied to Ampersand’s sealed Hardbord panel to form a bright, smooth and velvety surface that is ready to use with the ancient technique of encaustic painting. The ground is not only heat resistant and highly absorbent but also holds tight to layers of wax and collage without the fear of cracking or separation. Encausticbord is available in 5 profiles: 1/8” flat, ¼” flat, 7/8” cradle, and 1.5” cradle depth. Greek artists practiced encaustic painting as far back as the 5th century B.C. The word "encaustic" comes from Greek and means “burn-in,” which refers to the process of fusing the paint. Perhaps the best known of all encaustic works are the Fayum funeral portraits painted in the 1st and 2nd centuries A.D. by Greek painters in Egypt. In the 20th century, the availability of portable electric heating implements and various tools had made encaustic a far less formidable technique. This factor has created a resurgence of encaustic painting, and it is once again taking its place as a major artists' medium. Alfonso Ossorio, Jasper Johns, Lynda Benglis, Robert Morris, and Nancy Graves are prominent among the many artists who turned encaustic into a modernist and cross-disciplinary medium.TRUE SUPPORT OF ENCAUSTICS andamp; MIXED MEDIA!
