fragonard oils

Fragonard oils are well balanced between opaque, semi opaque and transparent. The three primary colors are not single pigments so that the exact colors and their regularity can be guaranteed in production.
Fragonard colors have been created to bring a new freshness of color allied with excellent light resistance. Fragonard colors are also ground several times to ensure the extra fine quality. Fragonard oils are also enhanced by a small quantity of siccative, in order to obtain a surface drying time between 8 to 10 days and a regular thorough drying without cracks.

R&F Encaustics

R&F encaustic paints are an unusual alternative to other painting mediums. composed of beeswax and resin, it is applied molten to a surface and fused creating a lustrous enamel effect. since wax is impervious to moisture and over time will retain all the freshness of a newly finished work.

-Encaustic paint cools in minutes, which means additional layers can be added immediately. Once the surface has cooled, the paint has reached a permanent finish, but the painting can also be revised and reworked at any time -- whether seconds or years later.

-It can be laid on in delicately thin glazes or super thick impastos.
It can be carved, shaped and molded -- built to high or low relief.

-Its adhesiveness makes it an excellent collage medium that can be impregnated with foils, paper, glitter, string, found objects, and many other things.

-The surface quality of encaustic paint can be left rough and matte or worked to a semi-gloss or lustrous high-gloss enamel like finish.

-Encaustic painting does not require solvents of any kind. As a result, a number of health hazards are reduced or eliminated.
