Artist Georgia Nassikas describes the technique of encaustic painting in this video using wax from her own hives at her studio in McLean, Virginia. The ancient process of heating, mixing, scraping and layering is extremely labor and time intensive. You can see more of Georgia's art on her website at www.georgianassikas.com.
