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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eWoad is a soft, plant-based blue pigment made from the leaves of Isatis tinctoria, a flowering plant historically cultivated across Europe for its unique blue dye. Long before indigo became widely available, woad was the primary source of blue in medieval manuscript illumination, textiles, and early European painting. Our Woad is carefully crafted from hand-extracted woad pigment, lake-precipitated and bound with walnut oil to preserve its delicate botanical quality. It produces a gentle, grey-blue with a slightly muted, smoky undertone—perfect for historical palettes, botanical studies, skies, and soft layering. Woad has a subtle, earthy elegance that connects artists to ancient craft and natural color.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eKey Features\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSingle Source Pigment: Each product features one pure pigment, chosen for its exceptional quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll Natural Medium: Our encaustic medium is made with the highest quality all natural beeswax and dammar resin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eHandmade Artisanal Process: Crafted in small batches, our encaustic wax paints are handmade and gently poured to preserve the integrity of the pigment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaximum Pigment Load: Designed to provide maximum color saturation, our formula contains no artificial additives or fillers\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePigment Information\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePigment Type: Natural organic lake pigment (botanical)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSource: Woad plant (Isatis tinctoria) leaves, fermented and precipitated\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOrigin: China\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLightfastness: Moderate (recommended for protected works such as sketchbooks, reproduction art, or archival framing)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOpacity: Transparent to semi-transparent with a soft, dusty texture\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOther Names: Pastel (French), German Indigo, European Indigo\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eColor Index Code: NB1 (same as natural indigo, chemically similar dye molecule)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduction Process\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur encaustic paints are created with passion and precision.
