Encaustic comes from Greek (enkaustikos) which means ‘to burn in’. Encaustics uses pigmented beeswax as a painting medium. The encaustic paint is heated/melted with various tools and applied to a rigid substrate. Tools are used to manipulate and shape the wax, including: heat gun, torch encaustic iron, encaustic stylus and brushes. Other media, such as pigment sticks, pan pastel and inks can be used in conjunction with encaustics.
From encaustic wax paints, encaustic mediums, tools, cradle panels, brushes, books, DVD’s to heat palettes and raw materials we stock it! Want to make your own wax paints? We have bees wax, damar resin, pigments and tins so you can experiment and perfect your own encaustic paint.
