This Paint Stick™ is one of the more expensive, rare special colors. The pigment cost is very high and the color result is incredible. The granular nature is inherent in the color. The photo is of INDIAN YELLOW extended with medium, then painted one layer onto white paper, then covered with clear medium. This color is granular with very small nearly copper colored grains and the washes extend out to the most luminous of warm yellows.

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.
Paint Sticks™ and Minis are exceptional when used directly on a hot palette for monotypes and other works on paper.
