Ceracolors is a water-soluble wax paint suitable for encaustic and wax painting techniques. Ceracolors makes encaustic painting versatile because it doesn't require heat, electricity, or special tools.
Ceracolors is a wax paint for professional artists, made from pharmaceutical-grade beeswax blended with other natural waxes to provide higher melting temperatures. Ceracolors offer a wide range of painting techniques, from thick impasto that can be sculpted to thin, watercolor-like washes. They are fast-drying colors suitable for all supports used for encaustic painting, yet they do not require any special tools or heated instruments. Use any brush suitable for water-based paint. Once dry, Ceracolors can be used in encaustic technique, allowing further sculpting and manipulation of the paint. The ingredients in Ceracolors are found in food and cosmetics, so they are not considered to be toxic.
