Light Yellow Ochre Encaustic Wax Paint

Description

Light Yellow Ochre 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.

Light Yellow Ochre features a single, natural earth pigment known for its soft, golden-yellow tone and gentle opacity. Mined from ancient clay-rich earth deposits, this pigment has been used since prehistoric times for its warm, sunlit hue and exceptional permanence. Its subtle warmth makes it a foundational color for landscapes, portraiture, and botanical work, offering a natural luminosity that enhances both traditional and modern palettes. Light Yellow Ochre blends beautifully with other earth tones and cooler pigments, creating a wide range of soft neutrals and skin tones. Its creamy consistency and smooth flow make it a favorite for layering, glazing, and dry brush techniques.
