Co-Co Bello beeswax impasto medium is a soft, matt wax paste - can be added to oil colours to create impasto layers that dry to a matt sheen. No drying agents.
Blend of bleached beeswax and linseed stand oil.
Adds body to oil colours and creates a slower tack to wet paint films. Add 10-20% to oil colour and apply with brush or palette knife up to thickness of 2-3mm maximum. Thicker layers will tend to take longer to dry and increase yellowing/darkening of dried paint film.
Over-addition of beeswax paste to oil colours leaves the dried paint film fragile when exposed to high temperatures (beeswax melts at ca. 60°C).

Wallace Seymour Liquid Graphite
A water-resoluble graphite that dries to a matt, velvet finish. It can be applied to art paper and can be diluted with water for subtle washes. When dry the surface sheen is similar to graphite powder. The binder used bonds the graphite to the painting surface, without creating any gloss.
There are four different colours of Wallace Seymour Liquid Graphite available in 50ml or 125ml.
Wallace Seymour Liquid Graphite can be diluted and with water and used on specific paper surfaces to allow the artist to further manipulate the material. eg when thinned fifty per cent with water and applied to a heavy weight (300gsm or above) handmade paper, the graphite particles dry off slightly exposed on the surface, creating a variegated effect. The graphite can be used in a number of innovative ways with ither media such as charcoal, pastel, water based inks etc.
It can be can be applied with brushes, palette knives, spatulas, etc., and used neat or diluted. It may also be mixed with acrylic paint and/or acrylic mediums to create for even more versatile effects.
