Victoria Browning Wyeth
Encaustic painting is a 2000 year old painting medium used by the Fayum Egyptians 2000 years ago for thier realistic mummy cask paintings. These paintings were painted during a persons lifetime and generally hung in thier house until death at which time they were mounted to thier caskets. Thier colors today appear as if they were just painted. Thom uses this technique in his encaustic portraits today.

“Victoria Browning Wyeth”
The encaustic "Victoria Browning Wyeth” was created from the artist watching several lecture videos where the artist completed sketches of Victoria as she was discussing paintings of the Wyeth
family. The following images were taken during the creation of this work showing stages of the
encaustic process.
