Exploring Painting with
Water-Based Cold Wax and Acrylics!
EXPLORING A NEW MEDIUM: WATER-BASED COLD WAX FOR ACRYLICS
One of my most asked questions (after 'How long does it take for a layer to dry?) is 'I am an acrylic painter, I can't stand the smell of oil paint, can I mix cold wax medium with acrylic paints?' And unfortunately the answer is NO, You Can't.
BUT I found a water-based cold wax medium called POWERWAX which can be mixed with acrylics and can be a solution to those who only paint in acrylics but want to create beautiful textured and layered paintings.
In this mini- class, you can watch me exploring the possibilities of this new water based medium called Powerwax while painting a portrait. This mini-class is done with the old formula of Powerwax, which is much thinner than the new one but the technique stays the same.
POWERWAX BY POWERTEX
This is the new water-based cold wax I use to create the same effects as cold wax with oils. It’s called Powerwax, and it's made by Powertex. Powertex has representatives in most countries, so feel free to contact me at marinatvb@outlook.com if you need help finding one!
