Your portrait in glowing layers of melted wax

Make it in TelegramDepth you can almost touch
The effect works through translucency. Each layer lets the one below glow through, so colors blend like honey. Faces need a clear light source to survive the thick texture, which is why a window-lit portrait does best. If the surface looks like oil paint, rerun with 'glossy beeswax sheen, soft depth, translucent amber layers, a few embedded flecks'. Warm palettes suit the material and cold blues look less natural.
Wall art and series
A square image on matte or satin paper imitates a small wax panel. For a series of family members, keep the same palette and vary only the accent color. It is a digital design and cannot reproduce the real warmth or smell of an actual wax work, so describe it honestly if you sell prints. A framing shop can mount it on a thin wood board for a convincing panel look.
Tips
- Choose a warm palette.
- Ask for scraped lines that reveal lower layers.
- Say thick translucent surface.
- Order a square crop to mimic a panel.
