Ideal for encaustics, this pigment stick is an oil paint manufactured with enough wax for the paint to be molded into a stick form, allowing you to draw or paint directly onto a surface without brushes, palettes, paint tubes or solvents. It is richly pigmented with a lipstick soft consistency that gives it the same fluidity, subtlety and durability of traditional oil colors. This stick offers excellent consistency and for greater film strength.
