R&F Encaustic Paint - Iridescent Pearl, 40 ml

R&F Encaustic Paint is milled with 100% pure grade filtered beeswax and Singapore-grade damar resin, resulting in the highest quality encaustic paint on the market.

Encaustic paint is applied molten to an absorbent surface, and then fused, (or re-melted), to create a variety of effects. Unlike other paints, encaustic goes from a liquid to a solid state and back again in seconds, which means layers can be built up immediately without any drying time. Once the surface has cooled, the paint has reached a permanent finish but the painting can be revised and reworked with heat at any time, minutes or years later. The term "encaustic" is often used to describe both the paint itself and the method for using it.

Iridescent Pearl - Iridescent Pearl has the look of crushed pearls. This encaustic paint can be mixed with transparent pigments like Ultramarines or Phthalos to make beautiful iridescent colors and glazes.

Available in a 40 ml. block measuring 2-1/2" x 1-1/4" x 3/4".
