R&F Encaustic Wax Paints are ready to use, heavily pigmented, and available in a wide range of vibrant colors. Using Encaustic Paint lets you start making art and stop worrying about making paint.

R&F Encaustic is a beeswax-based painting medium that is worked with heat via a heated palette or heat gun. It can be used as a luminous traditional painting medium, but it also has the potential to obscure the boundaries between mediums like no other art material.

Encaustic is perhaps the most beautiful of all paints and is as versatile as any 21st-century medium. It can be polished to a high gloss, carved, scraped, layered, collaged, dipped, cast, modeled, sculpted, textured, and combined with oils. It cools immediately, so that there is no drying time, yet it can always be reworked by reheating.
