Red Ochre Encaustic Wax Paint

Description

Red 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.

One of the finest ochres available, Red Ochre is prized for its warm, earthy red tone, high covering power, and exceptional stability. It has been widely used for centuries due to its durability, opacity, and ability to create soft, harmonious blends in artwork. This pigment is ideal for fresco painting, oil painting, watercolor, and traditional tempera techniques.

Unlike synthetic reds, Red Ochre offers a unique organic warmth, making it a favorite among artists seeking natural, historically authentic reds for their palettes.
