Zellen Cold Wax Medium is a translucent, wax-based oil painting medium made from natural waxes, white spirits and alkyd resin. An excellent medium to create a variety of textures within a painting. It can retain the sharp peaks of impasto making it a great medium to use if you want to have more texture. It is used to thicken oil paints and creates a matte, transparent appearance. Another great feature is that the alkyd resin aids in reducing drying time. It can be mixed with oil paints or powder pigments to create the texture you need. Can be thinned using turpentine or mineral spirits.
