Cold Wax Medium Size: 16 oz

Easy to use, dries on watercolor paintings as a hard finish, used with oil paintings it has many uses. Great product!

Great product to seal and protect all my watercolor paintings.

Love this product for my oil paints. Rich texture and helps drying time. Gives good body without sacrificing the paint quality. Good price too.

this cold wax is okay, but not my favorite, Jacquard's cold wax is because theirs doesn't have as strong of an odor. either way you need to use this outdoors. this brand is viscous like crisco. For my usage I wanted something a little stiffer, but this works well still as long as you aren't wanting to do immediate color layering. It cured well but don't set out in too high of heat or it will damage the under layers. even after curing, paintings that had been stored in a very hot dry garage had layers that altered and I had colors change months and months later.

I like Gamblin Cold Wax Medium a bit better than a similar product made by Dorland. I've used both many times, but find myself reaching for the can of Gamblin's version most often. It's fun to experiment with different techniques using the wax mixed into oil colors. Besides giving your brush strokes a more matte finish, the wax also makes it easier to create texture and is helpful in creating an impasto effect if you choose to work the paint that way. Another great benefit is that your paint will dry to the touch MUCH faster. This faster drying time is something to keep in mind if you like to keep 'reworking' in wet paint since the cold wax addition will hamper that. Besides different techniques offering greatly differing results with this product, it's interesting to play around with the amount of wax you mix into your oil paint. In order to reduce the risk of cracking, Gamblin recommends not mixing more than 1/3 wax to 2/3 oil paint. I've found that you can up the wax ratio a bit if you mix some alkyd gel medium in with it which will help make the mixture more flexible. Although a completely different product, technique, and tool-use than those used for encaustics (hot wax) artwork, the addition of cold wax still gives much of that same luminosity, but without the need for heat. And, just as with encaustics, it's best to only use cold wax on rigid supports rather than stretched canvas in order to avoid flexing and cracking. Gamblin Cold Wax Medium is made up of natural beeswax, odorless mineral spirits, and alkyd resin. It’s soft enough that it’s easy to mix into oil paints with a palette knife.

High quality. Fast delivery. Good price.

My favorite cold wax to seal paintings.

This is good for using in your art journal to help the pages not stick together !!! Just wax on then wax off in 20 min! Boom no sticky pages !

He recibido el producto muchas gracias! Sirve especialmente para quitar el brillo del pigmento y darle mayor visibilidad, aun mas que los barnizes mates de aerosol.

Dependable service

Love this product, mix it with my oil paints to extend as well as makes a creamy texture. I use with a palette knife. The oil paint dries quicker.
