jacquard dorlands wax medium

Dorland's Wax is a versatile cold wax medium made from pure wax and damar resin. Popular as a protective topcoat for sealing and finishing a variety of media from oil paintings to collage, Dorland's Wax is especially popular as a varnish for watercolour and gouache paintings.

Dorland's Wax provides a durable waterproof finish, adding depth to colour and allowing for glassless framing and display. The finish is malleable; leave it rough for a matte effect or buff with a rag after drying for a uniform high gloss. Mix Dorland's Wax with oil paints or Jacquard Pearl Ex Powdered Pigments to create a heavy bodied, super matte, fast-drying medium for "cold wax painting" perfect for creating unique textures, impasto effects, and for layering and palette knife techniques. By barying the ratio of medium to colourant, you can easily control the transparency or opacity of the colour. Add mineral spirits or solvent to thin the viscosity or adjust the dry time.

Dorland's Wax is a sealant, varnish and medium all in one. It won't yellow over time, and will protect artwork for the ages. Topcoat finish for watercolours, gouache, oils, acrylic, wood, polymer clay, pencil drawing, pen and ink, pour art, canvas, encaustics, ceramics, mixed media, collage, art paper & more.

Mixable with oil colours, dry pigments, Pearl Ex, dye powders, charcoal, mineral spirits, turpentine, solvents and more.
