Indigo Encaustic Wax Paint

Description

Indigo 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.

Indigo is a deep, velvety blue pigment made from the fermented leaves of the Indigofera tinctoria plant. Used for thousands of years across cultures, from ancient Egypt and India to Japanese textiles and European oil painting, indigo is revered for its rich, moody tone and natural beauty. Our Indigo captures that essence with a dark, inky blue that leans toward gray and purple in dilute washes. It flows smoothly, stains gently, and blends effortlessly into shadow tones, skies, and botanicals. Whether you're creating expressive night scenes, historic palettes, or quiet, contemplative works, Indigo brings a timeless, soulful quality to your art.
