Enkaustikos Wax Snaps - Natural Yellow Wax Medium

Enkaustikos Natural Yellow Wax Medium is formulated using a 6 to 1 ratio of U.S. pharmaceutical grade natural yellow beeswax to damar resin — without the use of harsh chemicals.

Providing the same quality as Enkaustikos original Wax Medium but with a warm yellow tone, it can be used to extend paints or applied as a topcoat to impart an overall warm tone to your work. The natural yellow properties come from pollen and may vary slightly from one batch to another.

Note — Enkaustikos Wax Mediums contain damar resin, not damar varnish. Most artists are familiar with damar varnish, which is made by dissolving damar crystals in turpentine. Many encaustic recipes call for damar varnish containing turpentine which is not studio-safe. Because there is no need for solvents in an encaustic studio, Enkaustikos filters damar resin crystals with heat instead of using solvents of any kind, making the damar resin both a people friendly and Earth friendly product.
