R&F Paints
\nLuscious Encaustic and Lipstick-Soft oil-based R&F Pigment Sticks<\/em>\u00ae<\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

Over the weekend we had the distinct pleasure of a visit to our Hudson location by Richard Frumess, a celebrity in the niche world of hand-made paint manufacturing. Frumess, founder of R&F Handmade Paints<\/a>, and his wife, encaustic painter Pamela Blum, stopped in to see our current show\u00a0This Land.<\/i><\/a><\/p>\n

Speak to any encaustic painter in the US and they will inevitably mention R&F, the purveyor of inarguably the finest hand-made encaustic paint, mixed from a special blend of beeswax, resin and pigment; and a line of oil sticks, made from linseed oil, pigment and natural wax.<\/p>\n

Many of SEFA\u2019s own artists have used R&F products for years: Lisa Pressman<\/a>, an R&F Core Instructor, describes their encaustic as \u201cluscious and of consistently great quality.\u201d Rachelle Krieger<\/a> swears by the oil sticks, described on the company website as lipstick soft, \u201cthey have a higher pigment content [than other brands], which provides for a richer color. Also, they are the perfect consistency, while other brands tend to be too soft,\u201d she says. Amber George<\/a> says the encaustic is \u201csuperb\u2014saturated with pigment.\u201d<\/p>\n
