Brazilwood Pink Encaustic Wax Paint

Description

Brazilwood 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.

Brazilwood Lake offers a warm, transparent red-pink with subtle violet undertones, making it highly valued for glazing and layering in watercolor, oil, and tempera. While it is not as permanent as some mineral-based purples, its vibrant and organic qualities make it a unique choice for historical reconstructions and artistic experimentation.

Compared to synthetic pinks, Brazilwood Lake provides a softer, more natural hue that harmonizes beautifully with other plant-based pigments. It is best used in combination with UV-protective mediums or varnishes to enhance longevity.
