Rublev Oil Medium Wax Paste (8 fl oz / 237ml) is a professional-quality medium made from naturally bleached beeswax, ceresin wax, and a partially hydrogenated thermoplastic resin. This unique blend produces a harder paint film with more shine than traditional wax mediums, while giving oil colors a buttery, workable consistency.
Formulated as a soft paste, Rublev Wax Medium thickens oil paints, adds body, and creates a satin finish without extending drying time. It can be added directly to oil paints as a working medium, or used when grinding pigments to make your own oil colors. The wax helps prevent oil separation and ensures smooth handling qualities.
Rublev Wax Paste is also suitable for cold wax painting techniques, including encaustic. To create encaustic paint, moisten pigments with mineral spirits or turpentine to form a paste, then add Wax Medium until the desired texture is achieved.
Perfect for artists seeking to experiment with body, texture, and sheen in their oil paintings, Rublev Wax Medium provides both versatility and archival reliability. Now available in Australia, it’s an essential addition to the Rublev Natural Pigments range.
