Build thick, matte oil paintings that dry without heat or lengthy wait times
Gamblin Cold Wax Medium is a mixture of naturally white unbleached beeswax, alkyd resin, and odorless mineral spirits intended to make oil colors thicker and more matte. The term cold refers to the fact that heat is not required for working with this medium, but rather hardens through the evaporation of the Gamsol. Cold Wax Medium is compatible with oil colors, alkyd/oil colors, alkyd-based painting mediums, and Gamsol allowing it to be mixed to achieve different results. Fast-drying mediums such as Galkyd and Galkyd Gel will increase the tack when mixed with Cold Wax Medium. Mixing it with the Galkyd Lite Gel will give the wax a smoother feel and will round the peaks of impasto. These alkyd mediums will increase the gloss level of Cold Wax, while adding Gamsol to Cold Wax Medium will make it more fluid without adding gloss. Cold Wax Medium can also be applied as a varnish, creating a unified, soft, subtle and velvety appearance. The medium is available in 118ml and 500ml cans.
