One of my most asked questions is 'I am an acrylic painter, I can’t stand the smell of oil paint, can I mix cold wax medium with acrylic paints?' And unfortunately the answer is NO, You Can't. Acrylic paint is water-based and the 'regular' cold wax medium contains a solvent, which doesn't make the two a good match. Your surface will become unstable and might flake off over time BUT I found a water-based cold wax medium called Powerwax which can be mixed with acrylics and can be a solution to those who only paint in acrylics but want to create beautiful textured and layered paintings! Come and see how I experiment with this medium and try it out for yourself! Love to see your paintings!
