Introducing Beeswax Paintings from Wake Forest, NC
« on: April 10, 2014, 05:39:47 pm »
Hi, Everyone

My name is Victoria Primicias, and I paint with beeswax. Also known as encaustics, this ancient medium was invented centuries ago by the Romans and Greeks. Today, it's making a resurgence.

I love painting with beeswax because it has a luminosity and radiance that can't be replicated in other mediums. It also lends itself to creating wonderful textures. You can see examples of my beeswax paintings here: http://arte-cera.com/worldwide-beekeeping/

My paintings are reasonably-priced, and I ship internationally. Hope you'll take the time to see them. Any questions, simply email me at the address below.

All the best,

Victoria

Thanks, everyone! I purchase my beeswax from Strahl & Pitsch. The beeswax is white and mechanically filtered, not bleached, so the paintings will not yellow over time.
