Description
This is a description of R&F Handmade Paints' Impasto Modeling Wax, a wax blend designed for sculptural purposes. The wax has a higher melting point than encaustic wax, allowing for easier painting and fusion over a shape without immediately blunting sculptural details or impasto effects.
Designed for sculptural purposes, R&F's Impasto Modeling Wax is
a blend of microcrystalline (petroleum) waxes and beeswax. This
Impasto Modeling Wax can be cast, carved, and layered to create a
textural surface. The melting point of the impasto modeling wax is
175F, 79C - a higher temperature than the melting point of
encaustic (approximately 162F, 72C). The difference in
temperature allows artists to paint and fuse the encaustic over a
shape without immediately blunting sculptural details or impasto
effects.R&F Handmade Paints was established in 1988 and have
provided material-focused and artist-driven products ever since.
