Enkaustikos Wax Snaps - Ultramarine Blue
Regular Price $19.58 Special Price $17.62
Ultramarine Blue is a single pigment paint, transparent, deep blue, with moderate tinting strength. It has a reddish undertone making it a wonderful choice for making purples. Ultramarine Blue is probably the most versatile blue and therefore a classic colour for your encaustic palette. The word ultramarine means “over the sea”. In ancient times, ultramarine was made from lazuli otherwise known as the mineral lazurite. Obtaining ultramarine from lazurite was so costly that it has been artificially manufactured since the early 1800’s. Ultramarine Blue is featured in our Introductory Hot Cakes® Set, our Classic Painter's Choice Hot Cakes® Set, our Academy Hot Cakes® Set and our Primaries Hot Sticks® Set. Ultramarine Blue is also featured in our Linda Robertson Mixed Media Wax Snaps® Set.

What’s not to love about our Wax Snaps? They are perfect for the artists who like to melt their paint as they work, have three times the amount of paint as compared to Hot Sticks®, making them a more economical choice, and has a unique shape that allows you to easily snap off what you need. Each Wax Snap measures approximately 1-1/4” long x 4” wide and 1/2” thick.
This unique shape allows you to use the whole bar or break off a section with a simple snap. Available in all 88 colours including Graphite, and our three wax mediums: original Wax Medium, XD Wax Medium, and Natural Yellow Wax Medium. Wax Snaps are great for printmaking techniques, direct melting on a hot palette or snapping off a section to refill a Hot Cakes® tin. They are also ideal for the workshop and classroom setting, where you can easily snap, dispense, and share.
