Powerwax is a water-based cold wax medium that dries transparent when no color pigments or paint is added. Powerwax can be diluted with water and be mixed with Powertex universal medium, acrylic paint, pigment powders, metallic pigments, 3DSand, dyes and other compatible art materials. The proportions of medium to pigment depend largely on the characteristics of the pigments and the desired effects.
Powder pigments will appear more intense then when dry. Once dry you can polish your artwork with a soft cloth which gives it a deeper shine. It can be used on well felted or Powertexed wool to create a glaze and change the texture. Sara uses Powerwax on beaks, horns, talons, and even to create shiny flat surfaces like feathers and wings.
