Cold wax medium, a blend of beeswax, solvent, and resin, is favored by artists for its versatility and unique texture. It thickens oil paint, allowing for rich, impasto effects and enhancing the paint’s translucency for layered, luminous results. Additionally, cold wax medium is user-friendly, non-toxic, and allows artists to easily experiment with scraping, blending, and mark-making techniques. Its ability to create both subtle and dramatic finishes makes it a perfect option for artists seeking to create dynamic, textured paintings.
