ENCAUSTIC SUPPLIES:
Listed on this page are materials and equipment that I actually use in my own studio. Some of these items may contain affiliate links.
I have used R & F and Enkaustikos encaustic paints for over 20 years... and they make some of the highest quality encaustic products on the market.
I recommend the R & F Starter Kit and the R & F Complete Studio Set. I am also very impressed by the quality of Enkaustikos readymade medium.

TORCHES FOR ENCAUSTIC
BernzOmatic KC3500 Torch Kit
This is my go-to torch when making my own artwork. Get the BernzOmatic KC3500 if you want a flame that has a wide range of control. It adjusts from a super high flame for fusing larger areas down to a whisper flame for more delicate fusing. A must have tool for your studio.
I love this Japanese torch from Iwatani so much I nicknamed mine "Tank". It has a beautiful large flame that I use for priming my larger panels. Another "must have" tool for your encaustic studio!
SOURCES FOR ENCAUSTIC PANELS
Light weight wood panels make the best substrates for working with encaustic. Check your local art supply store and here are a few online sources...

ALCOHOL INKS & TOOLS
I prefer Ranger brand inks, such as this set for botanicals, and for creating special effects I reccomend this portable airbrush to gently move and blow your inks on the surface.
