It cools immediately, so that there is no drying time, yet it can always be reworked.This Encaustic Opaque 7pc Set has brighter more primary colors all selected with mixing in mind.

R&F wants the individual characteristics of each pigment to show through. This means that the formulation and milling of each pigment must be tailored to its particular traits. Each of R&Fs colors has a slightly different feel to it. Each color is milled in small carefully controlled batches.
