Anthony Waichulis
“As many oil painters know, the choice of medium carries a significant impact on one's process. As such, no other medium has provided me with the versatility and consistency that can be found with Classic Mediums Venetian Wax medium. The thixotropic nature of this gel medium allows for a highly adaptable painting experience while allowing each artist to customize the consistency and finish of their palette’s contents. With a quick drying time, the Venetian Wax medium allows me to “oil out” conservatively or create the finest of marks without inadvertently generating an overly-wet, slippery surface that may leave large sections of a piece unworkable for extended periods of time. With all of this in mind, it should be no surprise that Classic Mediums Venetian Wax medium is the official painting medium for the Ani Art Academies.”
