R&F Encaustic Paint - King's Blue, 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.

King's Blue - King's Blue is a very warm, soft light blue. This encaustic paint can be almost neutral when used against cool colors. With warmer colors, King's Blue creates hints of lavender, like a blue that's hiding a rose.

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