Enkaustikos Hot Sticks

Enkaustikos will be unveiling a new product in April 2011 called Hot Sticks Encaustic Wax Paint. Hot Sticks feature the same professional quality encaustic wax paints as the Hot Cakes paint line but come in a versatile artist-friendly stick. Hot Sticks will be available in 86 artist colors plus Enkaustikos Wax Medium and XD Wax Medium. They are made with USP grade Beeswax, Damar Resin, and artist-grade pigments, making them ideal for the professional encaustic artist. The unique square paint stick shape allows artists to use encaustic paints in a whole new way. Hot Sticks even work great for printmaking, rubbings, and mixed media techniques.

Enkaustikos Hot Cakes

Hot Cakes are ready-to-use professional encaustic paints that come in a convenient reusable metal tin. The artist-quality colors are made from the most beautiful pigments, the finest Damar Resin, and United States Pharmaceutical Grade (USP) Beeswax. These paints contain no bleach or synthetic adulterants whatsoever. While Enkaustikos has been manufacturing encaustic paints since 1996, the Hot Cakes metal tin was introduced in 2009. Enkaustikos offers two different tin sizes depending on how much paint you desire to work with: 1.5oz Hot Cakes and 4oz Hot cakes. The innovative design won both "Best Packaging" and "Best New Product" at the National Art Material Trade Association's convention in Louisville, KY.
