i used to build foundation layers with melted beeswax and then use oils on top. not quite encaustic painting though. lately i've been playing with oil paint sticks of different sizes. encaustic paints are kinda pricey.

definitely worth taking a course from someone who knows what they're doing. save you wasting a lot of materials
