Arzica Weld Yellow Encaustic Wax Paint

Description

Arzica is our exquisitely hand-crafted encaustic wax paint made with an extremely concentrated, high-quality single source pigment. Every encaustic stick is meticulously handmade, poured, and labeled using only pure, filtered beeswax, all natural dammar resin, and the maximum amount of hand-ground and richly textured pigment.

Arzica exhibits a clear, luminous yellow with slight green undertones, making it an excellent choice for glazing, botanical painting, and historical reconstructions. It is highly transparent, allowing for delicate layering effects, and is particularly well-suited to watercolor and tempera applications. Unlike synthetic yellows, weld lake offers a uniquely organic warmth that blends harmoniously with other natural earth pigments.
