Raw Umber Encaustic Wax Paint

Description

Raw Umber 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.

Raw Umber is a timeless pigment made from natural iron and manganese-rich earth. Known for its cool, muted brown tone, Raw Umber has been a foundational color in artists’ palettes since the Renaissance. Its subtle, soft, and smoky undertones make it ideal for underpainting, shadows, monochrome studies, and naturalistic landscapes. With excellent lightfastness and smooth handling, Raw Umber blends effortlessly with both warm and cool tones, adding depth and balance to any composition. This semi-opaque paint offers a grounded, organic quality; perfect for artists seeking a classic, non-toxic earth pigment with understated elegance.
