Designed to extend encaustic colors and create transparent layers, it melts between 158°F and 166°F, offering durable, moisture-resistant, and reworkable surfaces. Perfect for artists seeking versatile, high-gloss finishes and sculptural effects, this USA-made medium ensures your encaustic creations stay vibrant and timeless. ## Description R&F Encaustic Medium 10-pounds is encaustic paint without the pigment. It is used to extend colors in order to create transparencies. The damar in this medium helps prevent blooming and maintain the hardness of the film. R&F Encaustic paint is composed of 100% pure pharmaceutical grade beeswax, Singapore-grade damar resin and chemically pure pigments. Beeswax is impervious to moisture making encaustic paint extremely durable. There is no need to varnish or protect your painting with glass. It will not deteriorate, yellow or darken. Encaustic paint is kept molten on a heated palette. It is then applied to an absorbent surface and is fused to create a variety of effects. Encaustic goes from a liquid to solid state and back again in seconds giving you the opportunity to add layers without disrupting your composition. Once the surface has cooled, the paint has reached a permanent finish, but with heat, you can revise and rework your painting minutes or years later! This highly versatile medium can be polished to a high gloss, carved, scraped, layered, collaged, dipped, cast, modeled, sculpted, textured and combined with oil. ## Features - Essential Component: Crucial for encaustic painting, helping you create beautiful, transparent, or opaque glazes. - Pigment-Free: Add to your encaustic colors to extend their range and achieve stunning, clear layers between sections, preserving underlying drawings and marks. - Durable & Versatile: Crafted from pure pharmaceutical-grade beeswax and high-quality Singapore damar resin, it's perfect for mixed media and sculptural applications. - Multi-Size Options: Available in 1 lb, 2 lb, 5 lb, 10 lb bags, and 333 ml cakes. - Temperature Range: Melts at 158°F - 166°F. - Made in the USA: Proudly produced in the USA. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B005M4PAOU | | Assembly required | No | | Batteries required | No | | Best Sellers Rank | #180,933 in Arts, Crafts & Sewing ( See Top 100 in Arts, Crafts & Sewing ) #3,783 in Art Paints | | Customer Reviews | 4.9 4.9 out of 5 stars (33) | | Distinctive feature | Non Toxic | | Finish types | High Gloss | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Weight | 10 pounds | | Item model number | 823 | | Manufacturer | R&F Handmade Paints | | Product Dimensions | 12 x 4 x 12 inches | | Volume | 300 Milliliters | ## Images ![R&F Handmade Paints Encaustic Medium Bagged Paint, 10-Pound (823) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71jVOA9LyCL.jpg) ![R&F Handmade Paints Encaustic Medium Bagged Paint, 10-Pound (823) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71gP1lM5YrL.jpg) ![R&F Handmade Paints Encaustic Medium Bagged Paint, 10-Pound (823) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71IsByeB84L.jpg) ![R&F Handmade Paints Encaustic Medium Bagged Paint, 10-Pound (823) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71JxNtmDHWL.jpg) ![R&F Handmade Paints Encaustic Medium Bagged Paint, 10-Pound (823) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81IMExipMoL.jpg) ## Frequently Bought Together - R&F Handmade Paints Encaustic Medium Bagged Paint, 10-Pound (823) - Flat Hake Brushes Hake Paint Brush Artist Painting Set Sheep Hair Bristles Wash for Watercolor, Wash, Ceramic and Pottery Painting, 1, 2 inch and 3 Inch(6 Pieces) - R&F Artist Encaustic Paint, Titanium White, 104 ml --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/7009318-r-and-f-handmade-paints-encaustic-medium-bagged-paint-10](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/7009318-r-and-f-handmade-paints-encaustic-medium-bagged-paint-10) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-05-05*
