Preserve Your Art with a Flawless, Protective Finish Your art deserves to stand the test of time. As a final varnish, Dorland's Wax Medium provides a formidable protective seal over a huge range of artwork. A thin application creates a permanent, water-resistant barrier that safeguards your pieces from moisture, dust, and smudging. Unlike many traditional varnishes, our formula is guaranteed not to yellow or crack, ensuring the colours of your paintings, drawings, and even important documents remain true and vibrant for generations. It’s the perfect sealant for everything from oil paintings to finished wooden crafts. Simple Application for Stunning Results Achieving a sophisticated finish has never been easier. The medium’s smooth, buttery consistency makes it a pleasure to work with. As a Paint Extender: Mix a small amount into your oil colours to extend them, increase their transparency, and add a rich, workable body. This makes your valuable pigments go further and allows for beautiful layering. As a Final Varnish: Apply a thin, even coat over your dried artwork with a soft, lint-free cloth. Allow it to dry completely. The result is a luminous, translucent satin finish that reduces glare and unifies the surface. For a higher gloss, simply wait until the medium is fully cured and then buff gently with a clean cloth to bring out a radiant shine.
