- White refined beeswax
- Damar crystals
- Pancake griddle for heating up my pigments and also to be used as a palette.
- Cupcake sheet, for making my pigment cakes.
- Little 2.5 oz steel/aluminum containers, for mixing pigment on my burner.
- Heat gun, for fusing together wax layers and to enable me to rework areas on my surface.
- Thermometer, encaustic paint needs to maintain and not exceed a certain temperature (this will be a separate post eventually).
- 20 different dry pigments.
Things I need:
- Hog bristles, lots of them. I read that you should have different brushes for different hues...reds, greens, blues and such...so as not to contaminate the different pigments. No synthetic brushes, they will melt!
- Pots with the pouring lip.
- Wooden mixers, someone suggested stealing the coffee stirrers from *bucks...a life of thievery it is!
- Oh yes and painting surfaces of course.
