French Ultramarine Blue Encaustic Wax Paint

Description

French Ultramarine 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.

Synthetic French Ultramarine is a vibrant, deep blue watercolor made from a single, high-quality synthetic pigment that mirrors the brilliance of the original lapis lazuli-based ultramarine at a fraction of the cost. Developed in the 19th century as a breakthrough alternative to rare and expensive natural ultramarine, this color quickly became a staple in the palettes of artists like Van Gogh and Monet. Its intense, slightly violet-leaning tone, strong granulation, and excellent transparency make it ideal for bold skies, luminous shadows, glazing, and expressive work. With exceptional lightfastness and a velvety texture, French Ultramarine is a must-have for any professional or aspiring oil painter.
