I just made my first wax paints and I had trouble getting the oil paint to blend with the wax. I had little floaters of paint that wouldn't devolve. Any thoughts on this? I'm thinking my oils are old, or I let the oils leach out to long on paper 🤔
It's quite possible they are old. I have little tins that I set on my warmed pancake griddle. I put a bit of oil paint in the bottom of an empty tin and then add a small amount of melted wax to that. I stir all that up so the paint and wax are blended and then add the remainder of he wax from there. Maybe that would help?
Super idea! Thanks!

Christine Terrell, thanks, I'll give that a try, it sounds like it might work 🤗
