Dorlands Wax Medium

Dorlands Wax is a versatile cold wax medium made from pure wax and damar resin, commonly used as a protective topcoat for finishing and sealing a variety of media, including collages and oil paintings. Also useful for adding depth and protection to watercolours and gouache paintings. The wax finish can have a high gloss after buffing with a rag or a matte effect if left unbuffed.

Using Dorland’s Wax on wooden objects, furniture, metal, polymer, ceramics, photographs, drawings, or clay provides a beautiful, shielding, and durable finish.

A small amount of pigment, dye, alcohol ink or oil colour can be added to the wax to tint the medium or used straight for a traditional wax finish appearance.

Add a dash of ink or pigment to tint the medium, or apply it straight for a traditional, stylish, and elegant wax-finished look.

Use as a topcoat for projects using gouache, watercolours, oils, Unicorn SPiT, wood, acrylic, clay, polymer, pencil, ink, or pen drawings, canvas, pour art, encaustics, mixed media, ceramics, and more.

Mixable with Pearl Ex, oil colours, dry pigments and dye powders, mineral spirits, charcoal, and various solvent-based products.

Dorland’s Wax from Jacquard can be an all-in-one medium, sealant, and varnish. No yellowing over time gives your artwork long-lasting protection.
