R&F ENCAUSTIC PAINT TRANSLUCENT COLOR SET OF 6 X 40 ML CAKES AND PANEL

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

The cakes are manufactured by hand with pigment, resin and natural waxes, such as beeswax.

Translucent colours are perfect for subtle details of light, reflections and soft glazes.

No solvents are required for their use.

It does not need final varnishes thanks to the resistance to external agents and moisture of the wax.

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.
