Ceracolors Water-Soluble Wax Paint 50ml - S2 Phthalocyanine Green is a professional beeswax-based paint that delivers the luminous depth of wax with the convenience of water-based application. Phthalo Green (PG 7) is one of the most intense, high-tinting greens on an artist’s palette, known for its very deep green mass tone and vivid, almost electric undertones in tints. It is ideal for bold contemporary colour work, dramatic botanical and ocean palettes, powerful dark mixes, and clean, jewel-like glazing.

Made from pharmaceutical-grade beeswax blended with naturally derived waxes, Ceracolors supports encaustic and wax painting techniques without requiring heated tools, electricity, or specialist equipment. Use it straight from the tube for concentrated colour and smooth brushwork, or dilute with water for watercolour-like washes, transparent stains, and layered glazes. As a transparent colour, Phthalocyanine Green excels in glazing and optical mixing, building depth and chroma without dulling.

Ceracolors dries in two stages: it becomes touch-dry quickly as water evaporates, then continues curing as wax crystals coalesce over days or weeks depending on thickness. During the early stage you can reopen areas with a damp brush for blending. Once cured, heat set and fuse using a hair dryer, heat gun, or pastry torch to increase durability and wet scrub resistance and to further manipulate the wax surface.

Best on rigid supports such as wood panels, but also suitable on canvas and paper, and can be applied to ceramics, glass, metal, or plastic. Clean up easily with soap and water, and remove dried paint with household ammonia.
