Jim Inzero Encaustic Painting
The direction of Jim Inzero's painting was transformed by his move from Baltimore to the New Jersey Shore. He found himself deeply inspired by his new coastal home and his one dimensional, color field paintings steadily evolved into light filled layers of ethereal color and texture created during the encaustic process.

The Term "Encaustic" is often used to describe both the paint itself, and the method for using it. Encaustic is a paint composed of beeswax, damar resin and pigments. It is applied molten to an absorbent surface, and then fused, (or re-melted), to create a variety of effects.

Unlike Other Paints, Encaustic is Never Wet or Dry it goes from a liquid to solid state and back again in seconds, which means additional layers can be added immediately, without disrupting the composition. Once the surface has cooled, the paint has reached a permanent finish, but the painting can be revised and reworked with heat at any time - minutes or years later.
