Ceracolors Water-Soluble Wax Paint 50ml - S2 Ultramarine Blue is a professional beeswax-based paint that delivers the luminous optical depth of wax with the convenience of water-based handling. This Ultramarine Blue is formulated using an especially green-leaning shade of PB 29, giving you a vivid, slightly warmer blue that mixes beautifully into clean teals and natural greens while still delivering classic ultramarine richness in washes and glazes.

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 smooth, concentrated colour and expressive mark making, or thin with water for watercolour-like washes, transparent veils, and glazing layers. As a transparent colour, Ultramarine Blue excels in layering and optical mixing, building depth without muddying.

Ceracolors dries in two stages. First it becomes touch-dry quickly as water evaporates, then it continues curing as wax crystals coalesce over days or weeks depending on thickness. During the early stage you can reopen and blend areas with a damp brush. Once cured, heat set and fuse with 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.
