hello my friends who are sensitive to oils and solvents, here is the solution if you want to paint with cold wax medium!
One of my most asked questions is 'I am an acrylic painter, I can’t stand the smell of oil paint, can I mix cold wax medium with acrylic paints?' And unfortunately the answer is NO, You Can't. Acrylic paint is water-based and the 'regular' cold wax medium contains a solvent, which doesn't make the two a good match. Your surface will become unstable and might flake off over time BUT I found a water-based cold wax medium called Powerwax which can be mixed with acrylics and can be a solution to those who only paint in acrylics but want to create beautiful textured and layered paintings! Come and see how I experiment with this medium and try it out for yourself! Love to see your paintings!
