Carol??? Do I know you? Your avatar looks VERY familiar!
I use one of the sample wax mediums Rob made a few months ago at studio products. I have yet to try to make my own, but having had it quite a while I was amazed to see how it handled! I don't really use it with the knife but I enjoy the thin film it allows me, especially for the 2 hour sessions that I can wipe with a towel in turps gently and let the pure white of the canvas reflect through it. Because it has very little oil, I don't have the butter on butter I get when I keep throwing stuff on from the tube. When I use it opaquely it handles just like my marogers. That is, it gets thin enough to handle but lays on top of the layer below, not sllide or trench it out. Thixotropic I believe it is, that it stays liquid when you need it liquid and stops where you put it.
Allan, um, This is one of my less tight compositions. I was known as the headless... well top of the headless, portrait painters for a while. I was in the last row at the studio and had massive eye strain from a bad night on the internet for this one.
I AM driven. That is not a hard one to answer.
