Ancient Encaustic: From Maritime Roots to Fayum. This online course examines the history of encaustic painting, tracing its evolution from practical maritime applications in Ancient Greece to the sophisticated funerary art of the Egyptian Fayum region. You will learn about the discovery of wax-based pigments in the Mediterranean and the technical methods used by Greco-Roman artists to create enduring works. Connecting ancient practices to modern art, we explore how locally sourced beeswax and eco-friendly processes from Dandy’s Art Studio maintain the legacy of this luminous medium. By the end of this program, you will understand the historical significance, chemical resilience, and sustainable foundations of these 2,000-year-old artistic traditions.
