Logwood Purple Encaustic Wax Paint

Description

Logwood 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.

Logwood Lake produces deep, cool purples and blues with subtle undertones that shift based on environmental factors and binders. It has long been valued for its ability to create rich shadows and atmospheric depth in paintings, manuscript illuminations, and textile dyeing. While it is moderately lightfast, exposure to strong sunlight can cause fading, making it best suited for archival work, protected artworks, and historical reproductions.
