Encaustic Art Coloured Card is single sided gloss colour 250gms weight and in sizes ranging from A6 to A3. This coloured card has a carefully manufactured surface that makes it suitable for working with the iron and other heating tools, using the wax block colours. The waxes are not absorbed and therefore when wax is remelted it can be changed into a new form without any problem. This brings a completely different substrate to the encaustic art work, where the various colours offer different interaction with the wax colours. Pastel or metallic colours on a black card create wonderful contrasts and imagery. These coloured surfaces are a little more fragile to hard pressure than the white cards.
