Tradition...This is what Sennelier Egg Tempera embodies. Sennelier uses authentic formulation of the classic egg tempera used by artists since the Renaissance. Much of the religious panel paintings done between the 12th and 15th centuries were done in this delicate and subtle medium. Botticelli's "The Birth of Venus" is a striking example of the beautiful results possible with egg tempera.

In contemporary art history, Sennelier's Egg Tempera is famous as the paints used by Marc Chagall. It is a perfect choice for artists seeking a highly pigmented, professional quality alternative to oil paints and solvents. Capable of creating detailed and complex effects, egg tempera is a water-soluble and highly archival painting medium.

Unequaled vibrancy and brilliance.
Centuries old egg emulsion binder offering a satin matte finish.
Water-resistant when dry, will not age or yellow.
Also used for under painting with oil paints

This is an amazing interference effect with a life of its own! Add to any color to give an enhanced metallic/interference effect. Especially effective when added to reds, blues, and purples!

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!

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!

Seattle Grunge gives you the palest of a cool grey white, reminiscent of the Seattle sky. Gingeranga is a deep, rich cinnamon gold with a strong orange undertone, like the color of her four boy’s hair. Dusty Indigo is the deepest indigo with just a tinge of brown to keep it in check. Gum Nut is a fresh pale green, not too warm, not too cool, and Bitumen is the real surprise with its smoldering warmth and interesting appeal unlike any other brown.

This wax medium is a shimmering transparent green when painted over black and displays a subtle off white with just a hint of green over white. This color is hard to capture in a scan or photographs! As you move and the paint catches the light differently, you see green, yellow, and gold reflecting in the light. This is an amazing interference effect with a life of its own! Add to any color to give an enhanced metallic/interference effect. Especially effective when added to greens, yellows, and blues!
