R&F HANDMADE ENCAUSTIC PAINTS ARE PERHAPS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL AND VERSATILE OF ALL PAINTS! 

Encaustic paints have recently become an alternative to oil and acrylic paints. Because no solvents are used, many health hazards associated with other art materials are eliminated.

Encaustics is a very spontaneous and versatile medium. It can be modelled, layered, sculpted, textured, and combined with collage materials. You don't need to make any drying time.

The fine quality and exquisite visual properties of R&F Encaustic Paints are owed to the dedicated labour process. RanF carefully mixes pigment, pure beeswax, and damar resin. Each colour 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&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 lustre.
