Lynda, a good place to start is http:...Thanks Velma<br />Lynda, a good place to start is http://www.rebeccacrowell.com/index.html and http://www.coldwaxpainting.com/index.html<br /><br />I make my own cold wax medium, mixing together beeswax and pure gum turpentine, by melting the wax over electric not flame heating and then I pour it into a large jar and add about the same amount of pure gum turpentine give it good stir and leave to go cold. For using I often just mix in some powdered pigment either a small amount on my glass plate or a larger amount which I store in a jar. I also make my own oil paint mixing together linseed or walnut oil and dry pigment. I don't usually add the oil paint to the wax medium but I have. I usually do layers of each separately. Hope that helpsTrace Willanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18051875824520264093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389259658755947932.post-59387855711094147132014-12-19T13:43:03.669-08:002014-12-19T13:43:03.669-08:00What ratio do you use for the oil and wax?
