Encaustic painting is a painting medium using melted wax paints and one of the world's oldest form of paint. It was done by the artists of the Ancient Greece. Encaustic came from the Greek word "enkaustikos" which means "to burn in".

Artists of the Middle ages chose other painting mediums, like tempera, oil or fresco because it didn't require the task of building charcoal fires to melt the wax paint. These painting mediums are less of a hassle to use than the encaustic painting medium is.

How do you take off acrylic nails?
mamaluj [8]
You can go to the place where you got them done and ask them to take them off. Or you can use a spare fake nail and wiggle it underneath the acrylic and it should pop off. Another way you can grow your nails out and clip off the acrylic nail with nail clippers as your nail grows.

What is the meaning of the poplars at saint remy
bezimeni [28]

Explanation:

Vincent van Gogh (Dutch, 1853-1890), The Poplars at Saint-Rémy, 1889. Oil on fabric, 24¼ x 17 15/16 in. The Cleveland Museum of Art; Bequest of Leonard C. Hanna, Jr., 1958.32

A recent trip to south Florida occasioned what has become a routine sojourn for me, a stopover at the Norton Museum of Art.

At the Norton, van Gogh’s The Poplars at Saint-Rémy is overwhelmed twice, first by its ornate antique frame, then by its installation on the third floor. Softly lit, it inhabits its own grey-painted gallery, a pearl in an oversized jewel box. It doesn’t help that the landscape’s colors are relatively sedate for a late van Gogh, relying on white to suggest terrain bleached by sunlight. The central two poplars are enclosed within a diamond-shaped design circumscribed by skyline above and crossing diagonals of rock-strewn land below. It is an inherently unstable composition, harmonized by color, the blue sky repeated in ground plane shadows and the blanched earth tones picked up in clouds. There is perhaps no way to write about van Gogh’s brushwork, idiosyncratic and instantly recognizable, without resorting to banalities; suffice to say that his sense of urgency demanded an entirely novel handling of paint. The Poplars at Saint-Rémy was made in a single session, a feat of compressed intensity.

Sharing a gallery with two other works by the artist, Degas’s Portrait of Mlle. Hortense Valpinçon resides more comfortably in its ground floor setting. The story of its production is no less remarkable than that of the van Gogh; leaving Paris during the barricades of 1871, Degas arrived at the Valpinçon country home without a canvas, and apprehended some mattress ticking upon which to paint his friend’s nine-year-old daughter. She leans into a sideboard and surveys us with unusual self-possession for one so young, holding in her right hand what has been variously described as a slice of fruit or a coin.

Music Help<br><br> Which scale is a A major scale? <br><br> (See picture shown)
Kitty [74]

Answer:

Option "A" (the very first one) is an A Major scale.

Explanation:

A Major has three sharps in its key signature:  F, C and G.

I suggest you learn your way around the key signatures, that way you'll be able to recognize any scale at any moment, it doesn't take long and it's very much worth the effort.
