Encaustic Painting - Mediums

R&F Encaustic Medium is recommended to form transparencies and extend paints. It is encaustic paint without pigment. Created with the same mixture of purified and bleached beeswax and dammar resin as R&F Encaustic Paints, it maintains film hardness.

Use R&F Impasto/Modeling Wax beneath encaustic paints to build up textures and create three dimensional shapes. Impasto/Modeling Wax is a combination of microcrystalline wax and beeswax. Its melting point is higher than that of encaustic paints.
