Jacquard Dorland's Wax Medium 4 fl oz

Dorland’s Wax is a versatile cold wax medium made from pure wax and damar resin. You can use Dorland's Wax as a sealant, varnish, and medium.

Dorland's Wax is popular as a protective topcoat for sealing and finishing everything from oil paintings to collages, and is especially popular as a varnish for watercolor and gouache paintings. Dorland's Wax provides a durable, waterproof finish, adds depth to color, and allows you to hang your work without glass for protection. Leave the wax as it is for a matte effect, or buff it with a cloth after drying for a high-gloss effect.

Mix Dorland’s Wax with powdered pigments like Pearl Ex to create a firm, super-matte, fast-drying medium for ‘cold wax painting’. This is perfect for creating unique textures, impasto effects, and for layering and palette knife techniques. By varying the ratio of medium to colorant, you can easily control the transparency or opacity of the color. Add turpentine or solvent to thin the wax or extend drying time.

You can also use Dorland's Wax for finishing wooden objects, such as jewelry or furniture, as well as on metal, polymer clay, ceramics, drawings, photographs, and more. Add a small amount of pigment, dye, oil paint, or alcohol ink to color the medium, or apply it directly for a stylish, wax-finished look.

The wax will not yellow over time and will protect artworks forever.
