Dorland's Wax Medium
Dorland's Wax Medium is a select artist's painting medium
compounded from a scientifically balanced formula. This
formula was painstakingly evolved from an intensive review
of painting techniques. This medium is especially intended
for artists who desire the greatest possible longevity and
permanence of their creations while at the same time
preserving quality of tone and conception. It contains pure
fossil earth reinforced with additive waxes, resins, and oils.
This translucent, colorless and permanent medium has the plasticity of tube oil colors. It mixes instantly with
oil colors, powdered pigments, powdered metals, colored sands, dyes, plastic colors, and other compatible
fine art materials. The tremendous "locking up" and isolating powers allows the artist to explore a great variety of
coloring agents with complete freedom of style, technique, and control. It is superior as a painting medium for its
translucency, compatibility and permanence. Light is allowed to penetrate the surface, and colors transmitted to
our eyes take on qualities of luminosity and clarity not possible with other mediums. When mixed with artist's oils
and colors, Dorland's special blend of non-yellowing fossil waxes and resins prove to actually strengthen the paint
film against shrinkage and cracking. Dirt, air and moisture are sealed out. When fully dry, the artwork is resistant to
heat and abrasion. Because of the tremendous "locking up" and isolating powers found in Dorland's Wax Medium,
there is little or no chance of muddiness of tone. Wax paintings have inherent qualities of brilliance and luminosity.
These valuable virtues are apparent to a marked degree in paintings executed with this medium.
