Gamblin Cold Wax Medium - 16oz

I began using this product last January. I fell in love with the medium and it changed my style. I love how it is technically sound to paint over and scumble.

Mixes very well with oil paint, blends & spreads easily, allows for scraping back leaving interesting textures using a palette knife or scraper. Excellent , would highly recommend.

I was hoping the wax would have a lower melting point. I wanted to work without a heating element.

I love this wax. You can use it to drain varnish. You can apply it with oil paints and get amazing effects if you use solvent on it. It creates a wonderful full bodied medium that you can almost sculpt. I've had lots of fun with it and am still learning its many properties.

I started using cold wax as a finish on my pencil crayon & soft pastel drawings mounted to cradled panels. It works great! I use an isolation coat of spray fix or spray archival spray varnish on the mounted drawing, let it dry, then apply a thin layer of cold wax using micro fibre cloth. The finish is between matte and satin. This great alternative to using clear resin, especially if you don't like a gloss finish.
