The kunstfreiraum Encaustic painting palette is made of an 8mm thick, high-quality, anodized aluminum plate with deburred edges. The associated brush holder is indispensable. It helps to keep the brushes warm and ready for use at all times, which makes the work with Encaustic much easier.
A heating element (a single cast iron burner) is placed under the painting palette at a distance of approx. 2 mm to heat the painting palette. Once warmed up, the aluminum plate stores the heat evenly and creates optimal conditions for working with the encaustic technique. The feet of the painting pallet are adjustable in height so that the heating element can be positioned at an optimal distance underneath.
The heating element can be delivered upon request at a surcharge of CHF 35. However, as the plugs of the various heating elements vary in Europe from country to country it is recommended to buy them separately. Amazon regularly offers great deals and sometimes they are available for less than $ 20.
