Name: R&F Impasto/Modeling Wax
Brand: R & F

Use R&amp;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. The melting point of the Impasto/Modeling Wax is higher than that of encaustic paints, allowing the artist to paint and fuse the encaustic paint over a shape without blunting the sculptural details. 
  Available in 333&nbsp;ml (11.3&nbsp;oz). Not for use on top layers, since it may discolor.

R&F Encaustic Paints - Introductory Set of 6, 40 ml blocks

Encaustic paints have recently achieved popularity as an alternative to oil and acrylic paints. A very spontaneous and versatile medium, encaustics can be modeled, layered, sculpted, textured, and even combined with collage materials. No drying time is required. 
  The fine quality and exquisite visual properties of R&amp;F Encaustic Paints are owed to the dedicated labor process. R&amp;F carefully mixes pigment, pure beeswax, and damar resin. Each color is heavily pigmented and carefully milled. Because no solvents are used, many health hazards associated with other art materials are eliminated. 
  The beeswax contained in R&amp;F Encaustic Paints makes them impervious to moisture, and thus highly durable. Over time, your art retains all the freshness of a newly finished work. 
  Encaustics are applied molten with a brush and then fused into the painting with a heat source. It is best to use encaustic paints on a rigid and absorbent surface. 
  Work done with encaustics does not need to be varnished or protected by glass. A mild buffing with a soft cloth will bring the surface to a beautiful luster.

This hard natural resin is commonly mixed with beeswax to harden it and raise its melting temperature.   Adding damar resin allows wax to be buffed to a higher, more translucent sheen and helps prevent blooming (clouding on the surface).

R&F White Beeswax has been decolorized using a gentle mechanical filtration process rather than bleaching, which can break down the chemical structure of the wax and make it less reactive to pigments.   It is packaged in a granulated form that is easier to measure and melt.
