“an intresting wax to use mica and other powders can be added to give texture and effects, also once wax is mixed with oil paints it becomes a lovely soft medium it does however affect the gloss, it becomes a dull matt, though when dry I have buffed some parts up with a soft cloth for a slight shine. it is easier to use a pallet knife for blending together.I use approximatley the same amount of wax to oil paint, this mixture layers well Ialso add a tiny amount of Linseed oil if it is getting too tacky.
I have layered up Blue, Green, Mauve, Orange, Black and topped with white ( like a wall ) left 2 weeks to firm up more. I then sliced through with pallet knife revealing layers of each colour this represented a rock formation. Hogg brushes are the toughest if used but only last a few uses Pallet knives are much easier.”
