Pomegranate Lake Encaustic Wax Paint

Description

Pomegranate Lake 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.

Pomegranate Lake is a natural lake pigment derived from the rind of the Punica granatum (pomegranate) fruit. The pigment is extracted through a historical dyeing process that involves mordanting the natural tannins present in the fruit with an alum mordant. This produces a warm reddish-orange to soft pink hue, depending on the processing method and pH conditions.

This pigment is prized for its organic origin and unique color variation, offering soft, earthy reds and pinks that blend well with other natural pigments. It is traditionally used in watercolor, tempera, and textile dyeing, providing a rich and delicate warmth to artwork.
