Hello Friends and welcome to another art studio vlog.
Let's make cold wax medium! Making Cold Wax Medium is easier than you might think, with only a few ingredients required. Cold wax medium differs from Encaustic medium although both beeswax based, they are used very differently. Cold wax medium is used as a paste-type consistency and added to oil paint or used as a varnish. I'll be sharing the paintings I make with the cold wax medium in future art studio vlogs.
The recipe
11oz bleached beeswax
11oz solvent (Gamsol or Equivilent)
1oz Damar Resin
It makes just under 1 litre of cold wax medium
The ratios of this cold wax medium recipe can be altered depending on if you prefer a softer or firmer medium.
Please note. Damar resin fumes are toxic. Use a low heat to melt the resin being careful it doesn’t smoke. It is always good practice to work in a well ventilated room.
Hope you enjoy :-)
