Recreate the sheer, luminous, qualities of traditional beeswax encaustic with water-based DecoArt Wax Effects Acrylic Paint. This ready-to-use acrylic paint is designed to be used straight out of the jar with a palette knife, brush, or texture tool. The mixed-media medium dries to a burnished wax finish for gorgeous results. The thick-bodied translucent paint can be used for modeling, layering, texturing, and stenciling. Wax Effects Acrylics are also wonderful for layering on with a palette knife, combining colors, and layering with collage materials. Paint cures in 12 to 24 hours; do not force dry. 4 oz. jar.
