This unique synthetic wax was formulated for cleaning your brushes, tools, and even your palette between encaustic color changes. We named it Slick Wax because it really works like a charm! Slick wax eliminates the need for any type of solvent in your studio. Simply have a tin of melted slick wax available on your hot palette during the entire painting process and you will be able to avoid color contamination. When you want to move from one color to another, simply rinse your brush in the slick wax and wipe off any excess wax with a paper towel. The slick wax will have removed the color with ease and you can get right back to painting. And for those who like to color mix on their palette, you can even use the slick wax directly on the palette and with a wipe of a paper towel, you will have a nice clean surface to continue color mixing on. Many encaustic artists can agree that this product is truly essential to any encaustic studio! If you use it a lot, we recommend you pick up our larger sizing available within our sundries line. It comes in our resealable silver bag for easy storage. For those looking for the metal Hot Cakes tin, Slick Wax is available in 6 fl oz as well!

The P.H. Coate family has specialized in willow cultivation since 1819. They have been producing premium quality artists’ vine charcoal from willow grown on the Somerset Levels, Stoke Saint Gregory in Southwest England for over thirty years. Plantation willow cultivation is part of the rich heritage of the Somerset Levels, stretching back for hundreds of years. A special combination of unique environmental conditions and tried and trusted traditions enable the Coate family to produce a truly unique fine art charcoal. Since Coate’s produces and processes their own raw materials, they are able to select only the best willow rods ensuring consistently high quality charcoal. Coate’s Willow Charcoal is non-compressed and burned from rods left in their raw round shape and diameter. It is very soft and velvety, and has a beautiful deep black hue especially favored by artists.

This is one extra large stick of very soft Willow Charcoal by Coates. The stick is approximately 5-1/8" long and 3/4" thick. Perfect for large scale drawings and gesture drawing!

Mount Vision Handmade Pastels Karl Kelly, the creator of Mt. Vision Pastels, started his career making handmade oil paints for one of the United States best known fine oil paint manufacturers. Karl says "I wanted to bring the vivid color and particular density of each pigment to pastel with the same high quality I applied to making paint." The Mount Vision Pastel Company was launched in the top story of an old general store in Mt. Vision, New York, in the Fall of 2000. Mount Vision Pastels have an intensity that rivals all other imported brands of pastels. They have a wonderful, soft, almost buttery feel; the pigment goes down without resistance and allows the build up of several layers. The colors chosen for Mount Vision pastels have been picked from nature, as well as the artistic use of color in the medium. The color line is constantly growing to meet the needs of pastelists. Mount Vision pastels are larger than most other brands- and perhaps best of all, they are less expensive because they are made in the United States and are not subject to added import and shipping fees. All of our customers who have tried them are absolutely delighted!

Handmade Unison Pastels by John Hersey... Unison pastels are the creation of artist John Hersey. From a converted coachhouse in Northumberland, England, John and a small band of artisans lovingly make Unison pastels by hand, cutting no corners, accepting no compromise. They make small batches of 100 to 200 pastels at a time. Each stick is hand rolled and allowed to air dry. This produces a soft pastel which is eager to embrace the tooth of your drawing paper. There is a richness, a smoothness, an intensity you will find nowhere else. John Hersey developed Unisons color scheme in unified cycles of 18 colors. He observed from nature that a single color takes on endless variations of hue, depending on the quality of light that strikes it. After 15 years of experimentation, his pastels reflect the true nature of color. They have a color scheme that flows from nature itself, seducing the eye with its power. Unison pastels are a work of art themselves! One of our customers actually gets tears in her eyes looking through the Unison colors, and she says these are just so incredibly beautiful, my heart races when I see the endless array of color. Color charts are available upon request.

Walnut Drawing Ink
Tom Norton Walnut Drawing Ink® owes it’s reputation for supreme quality to it’s unique formula which uses premium imported pigment. Experience the unique characteristics and beauty of the ink used by the Old Masters without the acidic qualities of the old formula that fades, is highly acidic and damages paper over time. Tom Norton Walnut Drawing Ink®  is extremely lightfast.

NEW! Walnut Darkening Medium 
Tom Norton’s Darkening Medium® is not an ink but an additive to be used to darken the original ink when a drawing needs that extra “punch”. Some artists will add black india ink to darken the color of Walnut Ink. This will work but you will sacrifice the unique watercolor characteristics of the ink and lose the ability to lift color or lighten areas. 

The Darkening Medium® is very heavily pigmented and made with the same binder as the original so it can be added or mixed with Tom Norton’s Original Ink® without changing its working properties. It can also be used straight from the bottle. However, it is so heavily pigmented it will behave more like a Sumi ink and stain the paper and not lift as easily as the original.

X-D Wax medium has a high concentration of damar resin, giving it a working consistency and flow similar to honey when liquefied. The extra damar provides a harder film that is glossier, more translucent and much more durable than regular wax medium. It can be used as a base coat, topcoat or wax paint extender. It offers a hard, durable surface that can be polished to a glass-like sheen. The extra damar also makes it less flexible so rigid substrates are recommended. Available in 1.5 oz. and 6 oz. ready-to-heat tins.

Karl has spent years researching traditional pigments and advances in synthetic color technology to develop a new line of high quality, handmade soft pastels. Heavily pigmented and using a combination of marble dust, chalk, and clay, all of the pastels have a wonderfully smooth and creamy feel. Each pastel is hand rolled and allowed to air dry, creating a unique feel for each one. The Mount Vision Pastel Company brings out each colors best qualities while honoring their fundamental nature. As a small, artist-owned company, the Mount Vision Pastel Company guarantees each pastel is made by artists who use and understand the products themselves.

This special, limited edition set of Rembrandt Pastels comes with 60 assorted colors. The pastels are set inside of a unique box; the box has one drawer that pulls out to reveal your colors. Ideal for all subject matter and makes a terrific gift!

This is a specialized wood burning tool that comes with four different brass hot tips. The on/off switch is inline (part of the electric chord itself). All of our Enkaustikos hot brushes, hot pens, and hot tips are fitted for the Hot Wax Pen. The tips included are a chisel edge tip (shown screwed onto the handle), a mini palette knife tip, a pointed stylus tip, and a blunted bullet tip. This is a very economical way to buy a hot pen and tips- the hot pen normally sells for $26.95!
