About this product:

• Dorland’s Wax is a versatile cold wax medium made from a special blend of pure waxes and damar resin;
• Used 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 watercolor and gouache paintings;
• It provides a durable waterproof finish, protecting the artwork from moisture, smudging, dust, and fingerprints, while adding depth to color and allowing for glassless framing and display;
• Applied with a fine cloth or gloved hand, it is easy to use, and the finish is malleable: leave it matte, or buff with a rag after drying for a uniform satin gloss;
• Mix Dorland’s Wax with oil paints or powdered pigments to create heavy-bodied, super matte, and fast-drying colors for “cold wax painting,” unique textures, impasto effects, and for layering and palette knife techniques;
• By varying the ratio of medium to colorant, you can easily control the transparency or opacity of the color;
• Add mineral spirits or solvent to thin the viscosity or adjust the dry time;
• Dorland’s Wax also provides a beautiful finish on wooden objects, such as jewelry or furniture, as well as on metal, polymer clay, ceramics, drawings, photographs and more;
• Add a small amount of pigment, dye, oil color, or alcohol ink to tint the medium, or apply it straight for a classy, wax finished look;
• 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;
