The hard wax also allows the encaustic to be polished to a high gloss, giving it more depth and intensity.\u003cbr\u003e\r\nCastor Wax is pure and translucent and unlike recipes with damar resin does not yellow with time.\u003cbr\u003e\r\nIt can be used to extend existing encaustic colours, to create transparent glazes or on its own for creating translucent layers.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nGenerally encaustic wax is coloured with pigments or concentrated oil paint but it may be used untinted to produce beautiful opalescent translucent films.   Encaustic wax is traditionally applied to an inflexible surface - usually braced timber panels, but in recent years, with further exploration by contemporary artists, it may be applied to more flexible surfaces such as paper and canvas.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\n","brand":"LANGRIDGE","offers":[{"title":"250g","offer_id":42505394192443,"sku":"LN1162","price":39.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/7299\/6411\/files\/LN1162.jpg?v=1759826762"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.gordonharris.co.nz\/collections\/langridge-encaustic-wax-grounds.oembed","provider":"Gordon Harris - The Art \u0026 Graphic Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
