Hot&nbsp;Sticks are  ready-to-use  professional encaustic paints.  Artist-quality  colors made from the most beautiful pigments, the finest damar resin, and United States Pharmaceutical Grade (USP) beeswax, Hot&nbsp;Sticks paints contain no bleach or synthetic adulterants. Plus, because they're  solvent-free , they require no turpentine or mineral spirits for cleanup.   The new square paint stick shape allows artists to use encaustic paints in a whole new way. The Hot Stick design is very versatile. You can use Hot Sticks for encaustic painting, printmaking, rubbings, and even mixed media techniques.  Hot&nbsp;Sticks can be melted directly on your hot palette to create a puddle of color for your brush or can be applied directly on a heated substrate. When applied to a heated substrate, Hot&nbsp;Sticks  glide just like lipstick on your piece creating those vibrant colors or subtle earth tones you love.   Enkaustikos uses only the finest,  artist-grade , lightfast pigments in the manufacture of Hot&nbsp;Sticks encaustic paints, which are engineered to withstand the heat requirements of the encaustic process without color shift. The company's milling operation employs  state-of-the-art  technology capable of shearing pigments to their smallest particle size to bring out their true personalities.   Painting with Hot&nbsp;Sticks encaustic paints allows delicate layering of thin, transparent glazes and the creation of heavy impasto textures within minutes without concern for &quot;fat over lean.&quot; Scraping to reveal underlying colors or add texture, surface modeling, and other techniques are accomplished easily with Hot&nbsp;Sticks. They're ideal for altered art, painting, printmaking,  book-making , mixed media, sculpture, photography, and even digital art. Unlike other art mediums, encaustic paints can be reworked immediately or even years later simply with the addition of heat.
