What is encaustic Painting?
Encaustic is a painting method dating back as far as Angient Egypt and Ancient Greece. Jeff discovered encaustic at West Chester University having studied under Gus Sermas while receiving his bachelor of fine art with a studio painting and drawing emphasize. Encaustic painting is a process of blending stone pigments with beeswax, over heat to produce color and texture. In ancient Egypt when people were mummified and buried in the temples, with in the walls encaustic faces were painted around them. Some exist still to this day. One of Jeffs passions is knowing the history behind the art, and creating in forms that will outlast us by hundred of years. Pewter, Encaustic Painting and Masonry is all his forms of art that will long outlive all of us. With each stroke of the brush, it is heated, waxed and canvased intentionally before the wax dries. The brush is then cleaned and the process is repeated.
Jeff also paints with oil, acrylic and various other mediums. He owned Culture in West Chester a local go to Art Gallery.
