Terre Verte Encaustic Wax Paint

Description

Terre Verte 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.

Terre Verte features a single, natural mineral pigment known for its cool, muted green tone. Traditionally sourced from deposits rich in celadonite and glauconite, Terre Verte has been prized since antiquity—used by Renaissance painters for underpainting flesh tones and creating atmospheric, naturalistic effects. Its subtle hue makes it ideal for glazing, botanical work, and classical portraiture, offering a gentle, rich green that blends effortlessly with other earth tones. Terre Verte's natural translucency and delicate texture bring a timeless quality to your palette, making it a must-have for artists who value historical authenticity and organic color harmony.
