R&F ENCAUSTIC PAINT OPAQUE COLOR SET OF 6 X 40 ML CAKES

R&F encaustic paint set with 6 cakes of paint of 40 ml and 1 Ampersand panel.

Paint manufactured by hand composed of pigment, resin and natural waxes, such as beeswax, of excellent quality and resistance.

Colours included in the set: Cadmium Yellow Medium, Cadmium Red Medium, Chromium Oxide Green, Cobalt Blue, Ivory Black and Titanium White.

It does not need solvents for its use, nor final varnishes thanks to the resistance of the wax to external agents and moisture.

Recommendations for use:

You will need a level worktop or workbench on which to place the heated palette and the heat gun. Ensure that your work area has adequate ventilation. It is recommended to have a burn kit and a fire extinguisher on hand for safety reasons.

Important tools and equipment for the home workshop include the following items: a heated palette with temperature controls for mixing encaustic paint and medium, a palette surface thermometer to help you keep the palette temperature within a safe range (180-200 ºF), fusing tools that allow you to melt (or reheat) each coat to make sure it adheres to the support, natural bristle brushes for painting (don't use synthetics because they melt), an assortment of marking tools for etching and drawing, a selection of stiff, absorbent, heat-resistant media, soy wax for cleaning, and palette cups to keep melted waxes separate.
