Encaustic used in a sentence

Encaustic in a sentence as a noun

The page she references says "The portrait is created using the encaustic technique of painting with hot wax." as far as I know there isn't a copy machine on earth that will make an enlargement in hot wax. Point being the "offending" artist must have done some amount of actual artistic work.

The encaustic paintings shown are basically just the wax equivalent of tracing the blown-up originals -- the "artist" glues the blown-up paper version to a canvas, then layers black wax over the black parts, and white wax over the white parts.
