Create a resist artwork with Cold Wax

Bright Idea
Cold Wax Solution is a wax product that can be used as a resist for watercolours, inks and dyes. Cold Wax is water soluble, ready to use and has no fumes. Successive colour layers can be applied using the batik method. Cold Wax is suitable for use on paper, clay, screens and fabric.

You will need the following:
Five Star 5008 Flat Brushes Sizes 6, 8
Five Star Paint Tray
Cartridge Paper
Newspaper
Method:
Step 1:
Draw or trace the panda onto cartridge paper.

Step 2:
Paint Cold Wax onto the white areas of the panda. Step 3:
Once dry, paint over the entire painting with black Liquid Dye. Do not worry about getting black over white, as it will resist against the Cold Wax.

Step 4:
Finally, sign your work like a true professional.
TIP: Black areas: alternatively, you can use Five Star Indian Ink, Five Star Water Soluble Dye or Flint Mecca Indian Ink
