Wax binder for encaustic painting, 100 ml, original Zharov studio Belarus

WAX BINDER

Traditional wax-tempera medium for icon painting. Perfect for working on traditional glue-chalk gesso.

Advantages of the wax-casein tempera.

•             Paints dry very quickly; the hardness of the paint layer is much superior to any other paint. This is very important for future preservation of the icon.

•             Wax medium is transparent and does not distort the color of blue and white pigments like egg tempera.

•             Has excellent adhesion to any materials, paints are freely and easy applied on gilded surfaces. This is very useful when drawing halos, ornaments, inscriptions and red frames. The paints are very durable and will not rub off.

•             Icon painted with wax- casein tempera could be covered with all kind of finish varnish. It not need to be coated with linseed oil «olifa», like egg tempera. Olifa usually turns yellow quickly and dries for a long time.

•             The wax medium is stored for a very long time (more than one year).

Preparation of paints:

Dry pigments preparing on a glass plate with mortal, using this emulsion and dry pigments. (as well as with egg). Add so much emulsion as it is necessary to a pigment. Wax medium is ready for use and we not recommended to add water during the preparation of paint. During the painting you can add water if it need, but than please add some medium too.

Since wax paints have a little bit thicker structure, we recommend using kolinsky brushes or soft synthetic.

100 ml is enough for 2 icons 30x40 cm.

The solid lime wood boards, purchased by me online from the well-stocked Dal Molin Carpentry, to carry out carving work, have an excellent quality/price ratio and are available in a vast number of formats... The packaging of the products sent was also very careful and received with very punctual delivery. Compliments!

I don't practice iconography, but I try my hand at chip carving. I searched high and low online looking for basswood boards to pursue my hobby, and I bought several from different suppliers. I've always spent a lot on cheap boards. One day I ended up, by chance, on the Dal Molin Carpentry website and a world opened up to me. Boards of all sizes, and even particular shapes... I ordered some to try and I have to say: FINALLY! Finally some high quality boards, well finished and at fair prices. I immediately added the site to my favorites, from which I plan to order often :) A thousand thanks!
