R&F Encaustic Paint 40ml Cerulean Grey
836943007369Encaustic is a wax based paint (composed of beeswax, resin and pigment), which is kept molten on a heated palette. It is applied to an absorbent surface and then reheated in order to fuse the paint.
Encaustic paintings do not have to be varnished or protected by glass. Beeswax is impervious to moisture, which is one of the major causes of deterioration in a paint film. Wax resists moisture far more than resin varnish or oil. Buffing encaustic will give luster and saturation to color in just the same way resin varnish does.
Encaustic paint will not yellow or darken.
Encaustic paint does not require the use of solvents.
As a general guideline, grounds for encaustic painting must be absorbent, so acrylic gessoes were not recommended in the past.
Cerulean Grey
Not at all like Cerulean Extra Pale. The Raw Sienna makes it a very subtle pale earthy green. So close to Neutral Grey Pale in value and hue but check how different the two appear in color relationships. Mix of Cerulean Blue with Raw Sienna and Titanium-Zinc White.
Paint Lines: Encaustic, Pigment Stick
Opacity: Semi-Transparent
Pigment Stick Drying Rate: Medium
Chemical Composition: Cerulean Blue + Raw Sienna + Titanium White + Zinc White
Safety Information: Conforms to ASTM D-4236
