R&F Handmade Paints is the premier manufacturer of two distinct paint lines: classic wax-based encaustic paint and linseed oil-based Pigment Sticks®. With a focus on developing an extensive and unique color line since 1988, R&F offers a wide range of products and services to fulfill the needs of artists. Encaustic paint, made of beeswax, resin, and high-quality pigments, allows for a variety of artistic techniques such as carving, scraping, layering, collaging, casting, and sculpting.

The paint can be polished to a high gloss, providing a mesmerizing finish. R&F Pigment Sticks® feature a unique formulation of natural wax, linseed oil, and pigment, resulting in a soft consistency that offers superior fluidity, subtlety, and durability. Artists can apply the sticks directly or manipulate them with a paint knife, brush, or brayer.

They can also be thinned with traditional oil mediums or mineral spirits. R&F also offers workshops that aim to build fundamental skills and explore different methods of working with encaustic and Pigment Sticks®. With R&F Handmade Paints, artists can bring color, texture, and immediacy to their creations
