Collection: Powerwax - Cold Wax Painting Mediums

Powerwax is a water-based cold wax painting medium. Unlike encaustic, there's nothing to heat. Just open the jar and start painting.

On its own, it dries transparent, like a soft gel medium. Mix in pigments, Bister, or acrylic paint for color, and build it up with a palette knife for texture. Powerwax contains no binder, so adding acrylic paint or Universal Medium to the mix gives you a harder finish that dries faster. Once dry, buff it with a soft cloth for a deep, warm glow.
