Scribing Into Wax

Perhaps one of the most fascinating things about working with wax is its versatility. While the presence of wax is a wonderful addition to artwork, adding a layer of personality and personalization takes the medium to an entirely new level.

STEP 1: Apply Wax to a Prepared Surface

Apply two layers of hot wax to your surface.

STEP 2: Scribe Into the Wax

Once the wax has cooled, scribe into the wax with a punch tool or other pointed object.

STEP 3: Add Depth

With a paper towel and paint, apply a thin layer to the surface of the altered wax.

STEP 4: Wipe Away Excess

With a clean paper towel, wipe away excess paint.
