Our Impasto & Modeling Wax is a blend of microcrystalline (petroleum) waxes and beeswax. It is designed for sculptural purposes. The Impasto Modeling Wax can be cast, carved, and layered to create a textural surface.

Impasto Modeling Wax is not intended as a surface medium, but works well in combination with Encaustic Paints.

It is less expensive than encaustic medium, so thickly built-up forms and sculptural work can be done more cheaply.

The melting point of the impasto/modeling wax (175° F, 79° C) is a higher temperature than the melting point of encaustic (approximately 162°F, 72° C). The difference in temperature allows one to paint and fuse the encaustic over a shape without immediately blunting sculptural details or impasto effects.
