    I'd like to learn more about how you use wax with oils. Do you share your secrets?

    I use cold wax that is available at most art stores like Pearl Paints. The cold wax is mixed with oil paint and then is layered on the canvas. It forms a substance that resembles cake icing.

    I apply the color to the canvas using my hands. Images are then manipulated using a series of knives to scrape and form the images.

    I don't think you can use cold wax with acrylic. I would image it wouldn't combine together well.

    I will investigate more.

    So cold wax can not be mixed with acrylic paints. I just don't think it would mix.

    Cold Wax Medium is a soft paste formulated to make oil colors thicker and more matte. Cold Wax Medium is made with beeswax, resin, and mineral spirits.
