Hello All,

You can make a simple mix of beeswax and solvent with dried pigment and paint with it.

There were supposed to be two types of wax painting - encaustic [ melted wax ] and the other
- wax in solvent.

Wax in solvent works.

You can use only wax in solvent as your medium.

It works. I have tested it.

Wax works best as only wax - no oil - no resin.

It will last thousands of years.

Wax can only be damaged by a super high humidity atmosphere and contact with wet soil.
Hope this helps.
Khaimraj

Apologies in advance Cynthia.
