Thinning the Cold Wax Painting Medium
|
Thinning the Cold Wax Painting Medium Depending on the type of painting you are doing, there are times when you may want to thin the Cold Wax Painting Medium to a 'thin as ink' consistency. Being a reusable, biodegradable product that has no CFC's and is also non-flammable, therefore, very little evaporates to the atmosphere, the Zest-it Wax Solvent is ideal for doing this. Use a brush to pull some wax/oil away from the pile, use a small amount of Wax Solvent to thin the mixture as desired. |
Thinning the Cold Wax Painting Medium with the Wax Solvent leaves just a thin skim of coloured wax on the surface after the solvent has evaporated off. Only a small amount of Wax Solvent is needed because the thinned wax can be brushed out very well, so a little goes a long way. Just a hint of colour, as indicated on the canvas in the right hand image, gives a good base to start a painting. You can paint into this coloured surface or allow to dry before painting. |
