Thank you for the video! It was very informative. I normally paint in acrylics but I feel it's time for a change. I think painting in wax and oil will be an enjoyable learning experience.
@@CristinaGarcia-jy8js when you mix cold wax medium into your oils, the fat over lean rule no longer applies which gives such a freedom to create! You can use also pigments, pastels, oil bars etc.. no limits!
Hi John, Thank you, the orange tool is a Messermeister bowlscraper, you can also use a Catalyst wedge no.6 and the water-based cold wax I use is called Powerwax from Powertex
I can usually work on the painting the next day, it is not thoroughly dry then but dry to the touch. It depends on how thick your layers are, the humidity of your studio, even the quality of your paints and how much cold wax you mixed with your paints.. work on paper also dries faster than work on panel. You can speed up the drying time by mixing a bit of marble dust into your mix
Nice work you do.

I like drawing historic buildings - can I use the cold wax and oil approach?
Yes you could, you can create several textured layers with cold wax and oils and then add less cold wax and more oil when you paint the buildings
How long does it take for your paintings to dry in between layers
