Impasto Medium:

Impasto wax and oil medium -- An impasto wax medium for oil paint can be made by gently and slowly melting 1 part bleached beeswax into 2 parts linseed, sun-thickened, or stand oil. Pour the oil in a coffee can and place this into a pot of hot water (basically, a double-boiler). When the oil is hot enough to melt the wax, place small pieces of beeswax into the oil until all the wax is melted. Stir thoroughly and allow to cool. If the mixture is too hard or too oily, reheat and add either more wax or oils as necessary. A drop or two of cobalt dryer can be added to help the medium dry more quickly. The final consistency should be similar to lard. Store oil painting mediums in glass jars with lids.
