Imprimatura for Miniature Oil Paintings

Описание: For several years I’ve been using a mix of beeswax and linseed oil to prime the wooden panels where I paint my miniatures.

It’s similar to the base used in encaustic painting, except that over time I stopped adding turpentine because it hurt my nose.

This mixture gives me a smooth surface, perfect for adding details at such a tiny scale.
