Shimmer is a clear beeswax base with a lot of finely milled light-reflecting natural pigment. When layered or mixed with colors, it adds a soft shimmering glow, neither warm nor cool.

Paint Sticks™ and Minis are very heavy concentration of fine artist grade pigment, held together with USP white beeswax. There are no fillers or oils, no synthetic or petroleum waxes in any Evans Encaustics products.
Break off a piece of the Paint Stick™ and melt it with at least double the quantity of medium. More medium will extend the color while maintaining the integrity of the paint.
