R&F Encaustic Paint Cakes

Encaustic is a wax based paint (composed of beeswax, damar resin and pigment), which is kept molten on a heated palette. It is applied to an absorbent surface and then reheated in order to fuse the paint.  The word "encaustic" comes from the Greek word enkaiein, meaning to burn in, referring to the process of fusing the paint. 

Milled in small batches in Kingston, New York using 100% pure beeswax, damar resin, and a heavy pigment load, R&F Encaustic Paint Cakes are one of the highest-quality artist encaustic paints available.

R&F works to have individual characteristics of each pigment come through. The formulation and milling of each pigment is tailored to its particular trait. Cadmium colors, for example, are very smooth, while some of the earth and cobalt colors are slightly gritty to prevent over-grinding and loss of brilliance and clarity.
