Cold Wax Studies — daniel j cunningham art

Cold wax is unique in that it is a paste derived from encaustic medium (beeswax), thinned to a paste to which oil or pigment is added. The result allows for texture which simply cannot be duplicated in another medium. Texture and emotion are more easily found and displayed, creating work that speaks more viscerally than other media.
