Carmine Naccarat Red Encaustic Wax Paint

Description

Carmine Naccarat 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.

In use, Carmine Naccarat gives a brilliant, transparent red ideal for florals, textiles, illuminated manuscripts, portraits, lips and cheeks in historical studies, and luminous glazes in both figurative and decorative work. It has strong tinting strength and builds beautifully in layers, shifting from delicate rose washes to deeper, velvety scarlet when concentrated. It mixes beautifully with yellows for warm peach and coral tones, with earths for refined rose-browns and skin tones, and with blues and violets for elegant wine reds and muted plum shadows. As a natural lake based on an organic dye, it is less lightfast than modern synthetic reds and is best reserved for work protected from strong light.
