UNLOCK YOUR CREATIVE POTENTIAL: Discover the ultimate artist's companion. Our versatile wax medium mixes seamlessly with oil paints, powdered pigments, and pastels to extend your colours and add stunning translucency. Use it as a cold wax for encaustic effects, an adhesive for collage and mixed media, or to create rich, textural impasto layers. This single jar replaces multiple mediums, saving you space and money while expanding your artistic possibilities. PROVIDES A DURABLE PROTECTIVE SEAL: Safeguard your masterpieces for years to come. Dorland's Wax Medium creates a tough, water-resistant final coat that protects paintings, photographs, and documents from moisture, dust, and smudging. Unlike other varnishes, our formula will not yellow or crack over time, preserving the original vibrancy of your colours. Apply a thin layer to seal finished artwork and deliver a professional, museum-grade finish that lasts a lifetime. ACHIEVE A BEAUTIFUL SATIN FINISH: Elevate the appearance of your art with a customisable sheen. This cold wax medium dries to a gorgeous, translucent satin finish that enhances colour depth without creating a harsh glare. For a higher gloss, simply buff the dried surface with a soft cloth. This allows you to control the final look of your piece, from a subtle lustre to a radiant glow, ensuring your artwork is displayed exactly as you envisioned it. ENHANCES PAINT BODY AND TEXTURE: Transform your paint's consistency and unlock new techniques. Mix Dorland's directly into oil colours to add body, prevent running, and create crisp impasto effects with a brush or palette knife. The smooth, buttery consistency makes your paint more workable and allows for beautiful layering and blending. It acts as a superb paint extender, making your expensive pigments go further without compromising on richness or integrity. PREMIUM BLEND FOR RELIABLE RESULTS: Create with confidence using our specially formulated blend of pure waxes and damar resin. This ensures a consistent, workable medium that won't discolour or degrade your artwork. The medium is ideal for sealing porous surfaces like wood, paper, or plaster before painting, preventing paint from soaking in and dulling. Its unique formulation provides excellent adhesion for collage and mixed media applications, delivering dependable performance every time.
