I love wax paintings and have it on my list of things to learn.
many people have not seen this medium, quite surprizing as it has been used for the last 2000 years.

Nice Dan and very blue, like waves. It's good to create some once in a while.

I just love doing this! It looks so easy but it´s incredibly easy to screw up too

Dunno for sure about the wax, but we do use a hot iron. At first we tried to improvise on everything, even with a soldering iron!
