Product Description
The blackest of all blacks. Can unbalance the rest of the palette. Best for special effects. Reddish undertone and tints.
Encaustic paint is composed of pigment, beeswax and resin. It is applied molten to a surface and fused to create a lustrous enamel effect. It is among the most durable of all artists' paints, since wax is impervious to moisture and over time retains all the freshness of a newly finished work..
Once the surface has cooled, the paint has reached a permanent finish, but the painting can also be revised and reworked at any time -- whether seconds or years later.
Encaustics need to be applied to a rigid substrate such as a panel or hard board.
