While we do offer 86 beautiful professional encaustic paints, artists still enjoy making their own custom mixes. You use the same color mixing concepts you use in other mediums for encaustic paints. The more pigments you use in a mix, the more likely you are to make a muddy or dull paint color so the rule of thumb to follow is to use the least number of pigments to create your custom mixes. Our line of 86 colors, actually features 72 single pigment paints which means if you use our single pigment paints together, you are more likely to create the rich, radiant mixes you desire. So don't be afraid to get creative and mix your Hot Cakes or Hot Sticks colors! In fact, both Hot Sticks and Hot Cakes are made from the same paint formulas.
