Cuní Water-soluble Encaustic Paint
Renowned Spanish artist Jose Cuni has worked for half a century to unlock the mystery of the evasive formula of the beautiful paint used by ancient Greek, Byzantine and Roman painters. After many years of research and trial Jose's findings have finally been validated by the Smithsonian Institute and verified in scientific journals. Now his children have taken up the baton to produce this amazing and historically important paint.

An Ancient Medium for Contemporary Artists
We have set up shop to make Cuní's fabulous water soluble encaustic available in the UK and to help and give this beautiful artist paint its deserved place alongside oil and acrylic. Chemical analysis suggest that this really is the same paint used to create the ancient art of Pompeii, Herculaneum and Stabia.

Paint Characteristics
The paint medium is manufactured from pure beeswax and is completely free of toxic and allergenic components. The exceptional water solubility of the paint allows easy handling and cleaning, providing intense diluted brushstrokes and clean tones. The paint surface faithfully maintains the trace of the stroke without change in shape or volume. Cuni colours can be mixed with acrylics, oils, water mixable oils, hot encaustics, watercolours or temperas, and can also be applied on any of these paints.
