Gamblin Cold Wax Medium

Comments about Gamblin Cold Wax Medium:

This is my first time purchasing cold wax medium and I was really happy with the result. I like using texture and matte finishes in my paintings and this did just that. I have not tried out any other brands, but I doubt they would be better than Gamblin.

Use with oil paint and other dry pigments etc for texture and wonderful layered effects. I am also experimenting using it with collage materials and encaustic underground layers.

After doing some web research , I read about this product as a much easier way to varnish finished oil paintings , I am very pleased with it and like the tactile aspect of using your hands to apply and rub it in with a soft rag. So far , the results are exactly what I wanted and i appreciate the fact that there is no mess to clean up.I also have some works on paper that I intend to use it for.

Blick came through once again - I was close to running out of my cold wax, and needed more quickly. I didn't even need to get expedited shipping as my order came within the predicted 2 days. Good product, but excellent product service. Thank you.

use it with and under oils-- builds fine texture and can be used as a glaze.

can not build the surface up too high!

I bought this product to add to my oil paints to give them a thicker consistency. However, after reading the can's instructions, I found that they do not suggest using it when you are painting on canvas. The paint may crack so it needs a stronger support. This should be stated in the description. Instead I am using the medium mixed with a bit of OMS as a finisher on my dry paintings. You apply it, let it dry, and then buff it with a soft cloth. It leaves a nice finish unlike the high shine of retouch varnish.

After discovering Gamblin's line of contemporary oil painting products I can't say enough good things. Their Cold Wax medium along with their oils allow me to create a lustrous matte finish that I desire for my paintings. I recommend all of Gamblin's products.

Like the way the cold wax expands the oil and makes it dry quicker.
Blick makes it easy to order especialy with free shipping since I live on the central Oregon coast where there is no art supply nearby.
