Your videos are both informative and inspiring. Your selfless sharing of information is a rare offering in this day and age. My sincere thanks....subscribed!
That is the nicest compliment ~ thank you so much! And thanks for subscribing too.
I just started working with cold wax and love it! I love your way of storing your cold wax! Brilliant and easy plus cost effective! Thank-you!
Cold wax is so enjoyable. Glad that tip helped.
Very helpful - thank you!
Thank you for this video it is perfect.
I just discovered this video and really appreciate seeing the possibilities of mixing oil and chalk pastel with cold wax. I have also wanted to try using powdered oil pigment, which I've mixed with walnut oil, but never with cold wax. Based on what you've shared, this is worth trying as well.
I'm glad it offered you more options.
Thanks Sherry. A ton of helpful info! Now I have some idea what you are using LOL. Can't wait to give it a try.
I hope it works out for me to come down in three weeks so we can play with art supplies & videos.
I ordered some cold wax. It should be here tomorrow. I can't wait to play. I just grabbed the cheap master's touch brand oil paints for now and I have some pigment powders from my resin days.
Oh fun Meghan! You'll love it ~ just don't expect it to be like acrylics LOL
Thank you
Thank you!
This is fantastic! I just got a jar of Dorland's Cold Wax and this is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you
I'm glad it was helpful. You are going to love it.
This is exactly what I needed. Thank you so much Sherry! Karen Mooney
Great❣️ Thank you Karen
Awesome very nice friend,love it😉💕.

This is helpful as I have sooooo many soft pastels and don't want to have to buy new oil paints.
I'm so glad!

Thank you! I'm working on another oil & cold wax now so hopefully I'll get a video up sometime soon.
Hello Sherry, I did a large Oil/wax painting on canvas using palette knife three months ago, it seems dry when I touch, but today I wanted to give a finish protective wax coat with a soft fabric, and the pigment comes off, especially where I used Prussian blue.
I need to deliver it in two weeks and don't know how to make, I would appreciate your help!.
Oh no! The wax should have made the oil paint dry enough for a clear wax coat in a matter of weeks tho it does take quite some time to fully cure.
Did it change the appearance of the painting? I sometimes have a little color lift off but not enough to alter the look ~ especially really strong colors.
My only suggestion would be to fix it if needed & let it sit in front of a fan to speed up the curing. Other than that, I really have no clue. Sorry.
I'm probably too late with this: did you by any chance use Williamsburg Cold Wax Medium? I learned this the hard way; it doesn't fully set or dry down like the Gamblin does. Very bad surprise. My heart goes out to you, I really hope your situation turned out okay --
Maybe a cheaper way to store it airtight, put under the lid some kitchen foil. It probably will be airtight with that and you don't have to use those big ziplock bags. ;) cool video, I'm just getting into the cold wax medium and your video is very helpful.
If you end up with a lot of soft pastel strokes (not mixed with CWM) on the surface of the CWM painting, how can you protect it from smearing?
littlelauraanne61 you could probably use a spray fixative but I would use a little cold wax on top of the pastel
I've never used that gel. Is there a big dry time difference, or just another expense?
I find it dries faster and, if I'm remembering correctly, it reduces the cost
Great job dear friend
Thank you!
I am doing a portrait on a cotton canvas and I found out that the canvas is smooth but it looks too porous still for a portrait, is it possible to use cold wax with oil paint to smooth at least the face to hide the pores of the canvas? don't want it to look like paste on the face, just to hide the pores. Thanks
You can achieve a very smooth application with cold wax. But normally I would address this during the canvas prep.
Prime your canvas better
Ma'am how to pain with this show us a video on it
maahi Singh I have four posted showing how to paint with cold wax & oil, check my playlists. I rarely make new videos ~ I realized I was spending more time editing them than actually painting so you might want to check out Lisa Boardwine here on TH-cam as she posts regularly.
Just slightly warm the sticks up in micro to soften them a bit.
Great idea!! Thanks
What was the name of that red paint please, Sherry?
Pottymoon oh, I'm sorry ~ I thought I put it in the description ~ it's Gamblin Perylene Red
You can get it at this link ~ amzn.to/2P9Q0TX
Help is Cris o used? I’m a newbie Thanks
Crisco
It looks like a can of Crisco but it's cold wax. I use Gamblin but there are other brands.

Hmmm, first you want it to dry fast, then you worry about it drying out.
that does seem counterintuitive, doesn't it? LOL
Maybe a more accurate way to put it is you want it to dry faster than oil paint on the substrate but not dry out on the palette
Color arr is overpriced
I don't know what you're saying
