Encaustic wax medium 05

Wax encaustic medium with 5 % beeswax content.

Encaustic wax medium in the shape of a brick is actually an encaustic paint without pigment, designed for use with encaustic waxes as well as for stand-alone use.

The medium contains only high quality ingredients, such as 100% pharmaceutical grade beeswax, which, along with professional manufacturing, will allow you to achieve the desired combinations in your artwork.

It is used to mix two wax blocks or sticks together to create a new shade, or also to increase the transparency of the colour. Using an encaustic medium makes the wax film stronger, which prevents the paint from spreading.

It can also be used in American hot wax painting techniques, especially in collage. The wax is melted in a container and applied to the substrate with a brush. The rest of the process is up to your imagination.

Due to the lower beeswax content, the medium is lighter and is suitable for mixing with bright colours.

Weight: 310 grams, size of the brick is 28 x 9,5 x 1,5 cm.
