Pam, I can’t tell you how valuable your videos have been to me. I could never get tired of watching your paint and listening to you describe your process. You are an amazing artist as well as an incredible instructor. I have taken many online classes that I have paid for and many that have been free… I can say definitively that I have learned more from you than any other instructor. Thank you so much...I hope your art videos never end! I know you have said that people who work only in acrylic and not cold wax can still learn a great deal from your online workshop, however I really hope someday you will do an acrylic abstract workshop and or retreat workshop....If I take your cold wax workshop I am sure I will want to rush out and buy all kinds of new materials which I really do not need! I have so many acrylics I need to stick with them for now. Thank you for sharing your expertise and such a personal and supportive way to artists like me who are starving for good instruction and,find them invaluable!
I love the way u progressed in play! Now explore, patterns texture,drips, 48x48 , angles and lines, wet in wet,rolls of newsprint for shapes n patterns, hard and soft edges. Newsprint shapes very different & lg.don't compete with the main players ! Less is more!!!DOCUMENT YOUR PROGRESSION! Gouging wallpaper scraper! Keep going covering w grays,making contrasting sizes n diff kinds of marks! I love it & am building my repertoire! I'm in a lot of pain these days due to my spinal cyst so it reaklly helps to practice my shapes and marks in my sketchbook! I do need to order some things but don't have a credit card right now😢 when all the sales are on! The studio isn't started yet!! 063 & 064 next!
Your process is so interesting and impactful. I admit my heart jumped as you took more and more of your hard work away with the grey paint. I even admit to thinking the shapes were so small, but trying to learn to let go and trust the process.
You are like the Thanos of painters ! You destroy the painting in order to save the painting. At first I was like ... use orange Pam, use orange, and then use green Pam - go with the green, and then I was like ... purple ! ! ! YES ! ! ! purple ! ! ! Suddenly I find myself cheering for colors. I really need to get a hobby.
Yes - you should try painting ;) It is better to risk destroying something mediocre with the hope of making it better than accepting mediocrity and being content :)
Thank you so much Pamela...watching this took me through some emotional moments...when you talk about having courage that is definitely something that is relatble... Beautiful work!!
Wow, I can’t believe how your painting keeps changing. I know its hard to keep going but I find when I do, it always turns out. I tell people I create a lot of bad art, I just keep going. I really appreciate viewing your process, thank you so much.
Pam, it’s such a privilege to watch you work, thank you so much for making and sharing these amazing videos. And it’s incredibly helpful to hear your explanations and dialogue as you go along! Such a great way to learn. I love your work, I keep your book open in my studio for inspiration at all times. Thanks for your generosity in helping us.
''I love the change Pamela and I really like the fact that you took a risk and a leap of faith to change this piece and covert it to what I feel that it was meant to be all along, it really lives breathes now Great stuff!!
I love how when you painted over the underneath layers with white, with fairly sharp edges, it appears like you are looking through odd shaped windows into another world. Really a cool look. I'm hoping I can find where you finished this since it's a really old video!
WOW! You've shared so much info about & encouragement for the creative process in this video! Aside from the fun of watching you work in layers, what you've said is so helpful.
I am totally astonished at the way you paint...such guts and so brave to cover up so much, but i totally get it....i'm finding so many helpful thoughts and ideas .... and i usually dislike watching someone painting speeded up...but you do such a great job of talking whilst we watch, it is a perfect balance. thanks so much for taking all the time you take to put these together...i'm off to watch #3!
Thank you Pam for sharing all this with us.. I have learned so much in the time I have been with this group and your graciousness of sharing in so many ways.. I am finally “Getting It”. Love this process....more and more..especially the struggle. Great brain exercise! The best surprise is my love of gray...thank YOU! You are a gem. Looking forward to the next video of this painting adventure.♥️
Aww--many, many thanks for taking the time to give me such valuable and helpful feedback. That you are "getting it', and loving the process, makes creating art so much more joyful -- so happy to hear from you as always ;)!!!
This series is very enjoyable to watch and I feel I'm learning by osmosis, so thank you! I love the way you explain your process, offering various techniques and approaches for others to experiment with in their own way. Very inspiring!
Just love your process and thank you for sharing. I learn so much more from the time lapse progression and your narration. Understanding play and explore much better. Now, time to do some art!
I went to my local art store to buy some cold wax to give it a go. Wow! It’s expensive! 16fl ounces was $30. I totally appreciate the benefits of using this medium, so going to give it a try !
Hi Ruth! Please try and tune in to my live TH-cam this Wednesday, Mar 20 at 11am PDT as I will be showing how you can make your own cold wax medium! Best, Pam
Hi everyone! I hope you are enjoying this new series. What I talk about in these videos is exactly what I teach in my new online painting course, "Powerful Design and Personal Color", featuring cold wax/oils (but applicable for any 2D medium). If you would like to learn more about this course, please click the form below and tell me a bit about you and your artist background! I'd love to get to know you :) airtable.com/shrUWjQApUhlnWCbg Thanks for subscribing to my channel :) Pam Caughey
It’s very comforting to hear you say, “I’m not certain where I am going with this one.” Will you be having a workshop in Florida, or nearby, in 2020? Len
Great! But, it is ok (and necessary) to think - mostly toward the end, allowing you to enjoy the beginning and middle stages and free up the creativity! Best, Pam :)
Thank you for sharing! I love yellow but just not so much of it. Currently learning how to edit my paintings. Question: How do you speed up your videos? I use iMovie but not fast enough for some sections of my videos.
I missed this somewhere along the way. What are you using for your painting palette? Love your attitude about the playfulness. Colors are gorgeous! Thank you again for sharing your process!
LOVE your teaching and ability to play is wonderful to realize. Thank you for that Pam. Can I ask what material you are using for your BIG Canvases? Is there an alternative to use , and what would that be ? Considering the Starving Artists cant afford the Insane Over prices for the Bigger Canvases.. Please help, I love to paint , express myself and need to find some material I can work with ? So grateful and thank you for all your educational videos. YOUR Work is fascinating.
Hi - yes! It was launched in Nov 2018! You join the waitlist (it is a waitlist - but you can join right away when you fill out the form at the bottom of each email, letting me know your level of readiness! www.artandsuccess.com/p/powerful-design-and-personal-color-in-cold-wax-oils Hope to see you in the online course!
Less is more, more or less, should I just do it like Nike, or should I just say no. When to leave well enough alone and knowing when to say when. Go figure?

I LOVED THE YELLOW PAINTING, BUT ALSO LIKE THE FOLLOWING RESULTATS
Great! Thank you, Pam.
So beautiful. Love watching and your calming, almost reassuring voice and comments. Love all of it.
Thanks Pam. You’re great to watch and so honest. Truly lovely to follow your process!
Thank you so much, Rita! I really appreciate it :)! Pam

Thank you so much Pamela...watching this took me through some emotional moments...when you talk about having courage that is definitely something that is relatble...
Beautiful work!!
Wonderful series. I like the use of the large paper stencils to mask areas of the painting.
Hey thanks so much, Bob - I really appreciate your comment and feedback! Happy painting :)! Pam
ThankS Pam, once again amazing, your teaching is once in a lifetime, so educational in Every aspect, very very professional!
Many thanks, Joanna! I so appreciate such a generous comment ;) Best, Pam

You are very welcome, Peggy! :)
Lovely Pam, your process is so good to watch! I feel more brave just watching you paint...
Thank you so much, Shelley :) Happy painting! :)
Oh NO..I have to WAIT to see finish???!!
YIKES, it is like waiting on next episode of your weekly TV drama :D
Haha - wish the video editing didn't take so long - it can take a whole day of editing one video - but I hope it will be worth the wait :)!!
Pam, it’s such a privilege to watch you work, thank you so much for making and sharing these amazing videos. And it’s incredibly helpful to hear your explanations and dialogue as you go along!

Hi Foltz Art! Thanks so much! I really appreciate you stopping by my channel and commenting! ;)
I love how when you painted over the underneath layers with white, with fairly sharp edges, it appears like you are looking through odd shaped windows into another world. Really a cool look. I'm hoping I can find where you finished this since it's a really old video!
Good art,.
WOW! You've shared so much info about & encouragement for the creative process in this video! Aside from the fun of watching you work in layers, what you've said is so helpful.
Hi Sherry - thanks so much! I'm really glad you enjoyed this video :)!
Thanks for showing how randomness + paint = art.
Nice...
I am totally astonished at the way you paint...such guts and so brave to cover up so much, but i totally get it....i'm finding so many helpful thoughts and ideas .... and i usually dislike watching someone painting speeded up...but you do such a great job of talking whilst we watch, it is a perfect balance. thanks so much for taking all the time you take to put these together...i'm off to watch #3!
Thanks Pam. This is such a valuable teaching video and a treat.
Thanks so much, Carleanne :)! I really appreciate your comment! :)
having a look in Black and White is a great idea - I will start doing that!
Thank you Pam for sharing all this with us.. I have learned so much in the time I have been with this group and your graciousness of sharing in so many ways.. I am finally “Getting It”. Love this process....more and more..especially the struggle. Great brain exercise!

Life is a gift, isn't it ;)!
This series is very enjoyable to watch and I feel I'm learning by osmosis, so thank you! I love the way you explain your process, offering various techniques and approaches for others to experiment with in their own way. Very inspiring!
Thank you, Carole - much appreciation :)!
I cant wait to see the final results I really feel you put new life into this piece.
It looks nothing like the original yellow painting ;)! You'll see me finish the work in Part III :)!!
I enjoy watching you work and am learning so much. Thank you for your generosity!
Just love your process and thank you for sharing. I learn so much more from the time lapse progression and your narration. Understanding play and explore much better. Now, time to do some art!
Thanks so much, Michele! I am so glad you are enjoying these videos! :)
Fabulous video. So so inspiring.
Thanks very much, Sherrill ;)!
really love to watch this process! thank you!
You are very welcome, Steven - thanks for stopping by! :)
Thanks for the enjoyment of your painting
I so enjoy watching you paint. It’s so risky, it makes me nervous too. How are you able to get in your right brain so well
Your wax looks so smooth and even. Even your edges are sharp! Mine looks like icing that hasn’t been smoothed out yet and the edges are very rough!!!
I went to my local art store to buy some cold wax to give it a go. Wow! It’s expensive! 16fl ounces was $30. I totally appreciate the benefits of using this medium, so going to give it a try !

Len
put self into your 3 year old=YEA!!!!! DO NOT STOP AND THINK..do not be so hard on yourself (YES )...to be 100% creative TRUE..T Y for reminders
Great! But, it is ok (and necessary) to think - mostly toward the end, allowing you to enjoy the beginning and middle stages and free up the creativity! Best, Pam :)
What we have to see and understand when we try to see the painting in black and white
Great process. Thanks for sharing. What do you make your stencils out of?
Hi Shemi - I just use plain newsprint - it works great :)!! Pam
So awesome to watch. When can we expect part III?!
Thank you for sharing! I love yellow but just not so much of it. Currently learning how to edit my paintings. Question: How do you speed up your videos? I use iMovie but not fast enough for some sections of my videos.
I missed this somewhere along the way. What are you using for your painting palette? Love your attitude about the playfulness. Colors are gorgeous! Thank you again for sharing your process!
Sometimes I use gray palette paper or just freezer paper 😉
pamela,ya fuimos,estamos atrasados 50 años,de kooning nos mira desde arriba perdonandonos ,lo siento

HI Pam! WoW! first, a question, at 14:02, what is that small black/silver tool that you are using? Thanks!
Maybe more whimsical rather than playful
Hi Pam! Can you please tell me what tool you're using at 17:13? Thank you!!
what do u mean by panels? is it canvas?
It is a cradled wooden panel 😊
genius ....
How do you know “it’s not working the way it is”? It always looks great to me....hahaha.
It is knowing what I love and doing what I feel; I have to block out what others see or want from my work ;)
REALMENTE NO TE ENTIENDO, DESPUÉS DE PINTAR CON DIFERENTES MATICES DE GRISES , LO TERMINA TAPANDO TODO CON BLANCO???????
Less is more, more or less, should I just do it like Nike, or should I just say no. When to leave well enough alone and knowing when to say when. Go figure?
I say just go for it!
You must have hated that yellow painting.
