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.

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.

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.

Enkaustikos Angled Hog Bristle Encaustic Brush - This brush is a welcome addition to our line of specialty tools for encaustic painting. I discovered it by accident one night while making our wax paint color chart. My father was an old time signpainter, who had his box of sign brushes near by. In his box I found a very old brush that he used to paint murals on masonry walls. I decided to give it a try...I inflicted an incredible amount of abuse to this brush. I changed colors 128 times while making the chart and used the brush like a paddle to mix each color with an equal amount of white to show the colors mass tone and tinting strength. I tugged and pulled on the bristles over and over again with paper towels and constantly heated the bristle to clean them between color changes. No matter how much abuse I subjected this brush to, I never seemed to damage the bristles. The unusual angled shape proved ideal for cutting in the close lines while the broad end was great for laying down color. I found the thickness ideal for hot wax, it was just the right amount of bristle to heat quickly and work the color. Of course, like any hog bristle I occassionally singed and burned the bristles which our "Classic" brass bristles won't do but other than that it was a great brush. I sent my father's brush to a friend of mine who makes brushes and had him custom make these just for us. I made a few minor modifications, like shorten the handle to make it more practical for encaustic painters. The overall length from tip to tip is 8-1/2". I originally started with a 3/4" width and just added the 1/2" width. Please note that I kept the prices very reasonable. Please try one, I think you will be very satisfied with its performance.

Great American Art Works began production of its pastels 10 years ago. The owner of the business is a chemist, and his initial research into pastel production focused on the materials and methods of the older, established companies. He discovered that old techniques produced old pastels that were no better than the products currently available. To make a better pastel, it would be necessary to use materials, techniques, and equipment not available to the earlier manufacturers. After an extensive search and much trial and error, the right combination of ingredients and methods was discovered. Today Great American ART WORKS pastels are recognized internationally as the new standard of excellence. They are available in 468 colors and at a lower price than the formerly premium brands.

Enkaustikos Wax Medium is made from U.S. Pharmaceutical Grade Beeswax and Damar Resin in a 1:1 ratio. The Enkaustikos XD Wax Medium with its higher content of damar resin has a thicker consistency when liquified.

Once cooled however, it is resistant to surface alterations from scraping or incising and offers a hard film. Like the original Wax Medium, XD can be used as a base coat, wax paint extender for glazing, and especially useful as a topcoat. If you want to achieve a glass like surface with a single topcoat, or beautiful transulcent glazes this is the product for you.

Enkaustikos Wax Medium... A very versatile painting medium. Enkaustikos Wax Medium is made from U.S. Pharmaceutical Grade Refined Beeswax and Damar Resin. It can be used to create textures or can be added to Enkaustikos Wax Paints to increase transparency for glazing techniques. Wax Medium is ideal for mixing with your own pigments to make custom colors. It can also be applied as a topcoat to add depth to finished encaustic paintings. Can be easily formulated into a wax paste by dissolving in odorless mineral spirits (do not use heat to speed up the process). Our Wax Medium contains Damar Resin not Damar Varnish. We are now making our Wax Medium in pastilles, which allows you to melt exactly the quantity that you need; when you need it! The pastilles make our Wax Medium easier to use than ever.

Gioconda 48 Pastel Pencil Set in a Metal Tin - The key components of these pencils are the pure, micro-pulverized natural substances on a base of calcium carbonate. Together with top-quality additives and binding agents, a perfect base mixture is created into which colour pigments are carefully mixed. The pigments are sourced from all over the world and their quality, light permanency and dosed concentration influence the final result as well as the durability of the artworks. With a 4.2mm diamter lead, this pencil provides excellent artistic potential for all users. The mature wood casing allows quick and easy sharpening, making it possible to draw even very fine details. They are therefore suitable for detailed drawing as a supplement to round soft pastels.
