Encaustic paints have recently
achieved popularity as an alternative to oil and acrylic paints.
A very spontaneous and versatile medium, encaustics can be modeled,
layered, sculpted, textured, and even combined with collage materials. No
drying time is required. The fine quality and exquisite visual
properties of R&F Encaustic Paints are owed to the dedicated
labor process. R&F carefully mixes pigment, pure beeswax, and damar
resin. Each color is heavily pigmented and carefully milled. Because
no solvents are used, many health hazards associated with other
art materials are eliminated. The beeswax contained in R&F Encaustic
Paints makes them impervious to moisture, and thus highly durable.
Over time, your art retains all the freshness of a
newly finished work. Encaustics are applied molten with a brush
and then fused into the painting with a heat source.
It is best to use encaustic paints on a rigid
and absorbent surface. Work done with encaustics does not need
to be varnished or protected by glass. A mild buffing
with a soft cloth will bring the surface to a
beautiful luster. Assortment Set — This introductory assortment kit contains
seven colors in smaller-sized cakes, and also comes with the
Encaustic Medium. Cakes measure 25 ml (0.8 oz).

in 1644 and is still continuing its tradition; the oldest artist's paint
factory in the world. These oil paints are still manufactured according to
the 16th century methods and under the supervision of artists. The old
Dutch Masters used Old Holland paint. All of these colors are manufactured
using stone rollers which don't change the color of the paint. Only
the purest virgin cold-pressed sunbleached linseed oil is ever used. In the
classic Old Holland colors no fillers such as cheap chalk, barium sulphate,
aluminum hydrate powders or wax are used. The resulting benefits to the
artist using the classic colors are greater covering power, strength of color
and the superb intensity of classic color. The paint is packed in
soft lead tubes with a thin layer of pewter, as opposed to
an aluminum tube which oxidizes within 15 years. Lead tubes last a
lifetime. Since this paint consists of pure pigments and oil as opposed
to industrially manufactured paints, it cannot be filled mechanically in tubes because
the paint is too sticky. The filling of the tubes is done
by hand; tube by tube. If Old Holland classic colors seem too
strong in color mixing, try mixing the colors with a white oil
paint first.

Sterling The Boy Mechanic: 200 Classic Things to Build The Boy Mechanic: 200 Classic Things to Build ISBN: 1588165094 - Take a look back at the simpler, good old days of the
early 1900s – and at what we may have lost in our
high-tech era – through these engaging projects, all published in Popular Mechanics
during the first two decades of the 20th century. The range is
simply amazing, and bound to appeal to woodworkers who love classic ideas.
Projects include tools, like T-squares and sawhorses; an animal-proof gate latch
and a birdhouse made from an old straw hat; household gadgets and
handcrafted furniture; camping gear (including a screen door for a tent); and
toys and games. Many of these appealing trellises, decoys, puzzles, and
tents are quite doable today. Inveterate do-it-yourselfers will be astonished at the
resourcefulness required to build a stove for a canoe and even a
houseboat. Book specifications: paperback, 272 pgs., 5 in. x 7 in.
