yes, the beeswax gives it such a thick layer with slight opacity, so that you can do layers underneath and on top. also, you can then draw on top of it like you're carving into it, leaves a nice texture. i've seen it in studios but never worked with it... you have to it heat up in order to put it down on your surface. it is apparently a somwhat cumbersome process.

I LOVE THESE! I see that her paintings are made with:
Paper, oils and a beeswax/resin
mixture on birch wood
What's the deal with beeswax? That part makes it sound very unique texture-wise...
