A soft, paste-like painting medium made from naturally white, unbleached beeswax, Gamsol odourless mineral spirit and a small amount of alkyd resin. Mixed with oil colour, it increases body, creates a matte finish and supports impasto, layering, scraping and other textured techniques.
Cold Wax Medium can be thinned with a small amount of Gamsol for brushing. Adding Galkyd increases flexibility and sheen. Mixtures containing more than one-third Cold Wax Medium should be used on a rigid panel rather than flexible canvas.
