R&F Encaustic Paint - Malachite Green, 40 ml

R&F Encaustic Paint is milled with 100% pure grade filtered beeswax and Singapore-grade damar resin, resulting in the highest quality encaustic paint on the market.

Encaustic paint is applied molten to an absorbent surface, and then fused, (or re-melted), to create a variety of effects. Unlike other paints, encaustic goes from a liquid to a solid state and back again in seconds, which means layers can be built up immediately without any drying time. Once the surface has cooled, the paint has reached a permanent finish but the painting can be revised and reworked with heat at any time, minutes or years later. The term "encaustic" is often used to describe both the paint itself and the method for using it.

Malachite Green - Malachite Green is a cool blue-green whose blue tones are enhanced when used next to warm colors. It's named after the mineral color that is chemically associated with azurite. Malachite and azurite were some of the only bright greens and blues from ancient times through to the 18th Century.

Available in a 40 ml. block measuring 2-1/2" x 1-1/4" x 3/4".
