Well, I havn't contacted Jerry"s yet but after looking around on the web under the key words "wax painting technique" I gather it would take an ambitious student to master this. It would take knowledge of how to keep the colors at a temperature that is not so fluid as to make them hard to control.
There are some important advantages to using wax. They are -not- toxic unless mixed with other toxic mediums. Also, the colors don't fade, ever. Cracking can be prevented by painting on board.
This technique is difficult if not obscure. It might be useful to contact Gamblin. The Ralph Meyer book on technique and materials is supposed to have specific information on this subject. I'll write more after I talk to Jerry's.
