Professional-Grade Wax-Based Paints for Encaustic Art

R&F Encaustics are classic, handmade wax-based paints crafted for artists who want to explore the luminous depth and reworkable nature of encaustic painting. Each color is composed of pure beeswax, natural resin, and high-quality pigment, processed slowly on traditional milling machines in the USA. With no added fillers, extenders, or dryers, the resulting paints are vibrant, intense, and true to the pigment’s natural characteristics. These unique properties make R&F Encaustics ideal for artists looking to expand their technique with a medium that is both time-honored and endlessly versatile.

These paints won’t yellow or darken over time and don’t require varnishing, offering long-term stability and a distinct surface finish. Because the wax remains reworkable with heat, your painting can evolve and develop over time. Whether you're using heated tools, layering collage, or combining with mixed media, R&F Encaustics provide the control, purity, and brilliance demanded by artists in studios, classrooms, and workshops alike.
