Craft your own encaustic medium with filtered, pigment-stable wax
Filtered beeswax forms the foundation of encaustic painting, and R & F's mechanical filtration process preserves the wax's integrity in ways chemical bleaching cannot. Rather than breaking down the wax structure with harsh treatments, gentle filtration removes color while maintaining stability and reducing reactivity with pigments, critical when you're mixing your own medium or modifying commercial paints.
The granulated form eliminates the frustration of trying to portion block wax. Measure what you need, melt it cleanly, and combine with damar resin to create encaustic medium that matches your working preferences. Whether you're formulating softer mixtures for fluid application or firmer blends for sculptural buildup, starting with quality wax gives you control over the final working properties.
This is the same decolorized beeswax R & F uses in their own paint production. Artists making custom colors, adjusting transparency, or working through large-scale projects where buying pre-made medium becomes impractical find having pure wax on hand essential. The neutral base accepts pigments cleanly without the color shifts or binding issues that chemically processed waxes can introduce.
