This is such an awesome lesson. You’re a wizard with the squeegee 😊. I looked at your video to purchase but I didn’t see a supply list. Is that in the video or materials once you purchase the video? I’m asking because I have zero oil paint and cold wax. I would need to know what I need to buy so I can follow along with your video. Thank you
@@donnaoscolaighlange As with any paint, the thicker the layers, the more time needed to dry/cure. The cold wax medium added to the oil paint speeds up the dry time of the oils, and my paintings are touch dry in a day or two, and cure hard in a week or two.
You are a gifted teacher! You have taught me much about cold wax and I must know how do you place your board on the wall for painting!!!! I loved that you use only the scraper and palette knives! Also that you use baby oil to clean everything. I had all but given up on cold wax especially because of the clean up! Love you method!
Thank you Shirley, that's great to hear. I use screws on my wall, and sit my cradled panels or canvases on them. They stick out about and inch or so. It makes for easy on and off the wall, but secure.
I paint on cradled wood panels, similar construction to a gallery canvas. I have screws on my painting wall that stick out about an inch. My panels sit securely on these screws. Easy to take on and off, and works for many sizes.
This video is really amazing. Thank you for sharing your expertise. Can you please explain what you did with the scrape marks after the painting dried? Did you paint those branches with a fine brush?
You're welcome, glad you liked it. I only painted it with the scraper tool and the small Pottery tool to make the branch marks. No brushs, and did not paint on it when it was dry, as I liked it as it was.
Thanks Linda, I thoroughly enjoyed watching your video and seeing how you worked with the medium. It's always a wonderful thing to be able to take in some of another person's way of seeing.
Hi Elena, no, don't use the cold wax to mix with acrylics. Oil paints, Powdered pigments, pastels are compatible. Acrylics are not compatible to mix with it. You can paint over a dry acrylic painting with cold wax, just like you can paint oils over a dry acrylic painting, but not the other way.
I paint on cradled wood panel with gallery depth sides, which I paint, so I don't frame them. They could be framed by the art buyer, if they chose to, but I like the clean contemporary look.
Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge. So appreciate it. Can i be so bold as to ask you if you think cold wax medium with oil works better on board or canvas? I’m an accomplished artist from Australia but truly a beginner in cold wax medium. Appreciating you sharing your experience. Thank you
Glad you enjoyed my demonstration. I prefer to paint on a prepared wood panel, because of its rigid support. I have painted on canvas too with oil and cold wax, but I use more oil paint than cwm in my paint mix for increased flexibility and add a little Galkyd Gel for increased flexibility of the paint on a flexible support. I also love painting oil and cold wax on Arches Oil Paper.

Thank you! I have a free Supplies and materials tutorial on my website www.lindabanfalvi.com that shows you what you need to get started.
Do the layers underneath dries out quickly when you’re painting on top of them?

Thank you Elena 😊
Thank you for sharing! You are an inspiration!!!
Thanks so much! I'm glad that you enjoyed it.
Important video for cold wax people, thank you.
Are the colour of the palette already mixed with cold wax? Amazing way to use this technique....thank you so much...
Yes, I mix my oil paint with cold wax medium so they are all ready to paint with, and mix together on my palette and/or painting.
Does the added wax delay the drying process? I'm so inspired by this technique! Thank you.
The cold wax medium actually speeds up the dry time. So does a little Galkyd Gel.

Really interesting and very usefull. Many thanks
So happy to hear that, thank you! 😊
How do you stabilize the painting suface on the wall?
I paint on cradled wood panels, similar construction to a gallery canvas. I have screws on my painting wall that stick out about an inch. My panels sit securely on these screws. Easy to take on and off, and works for many sizes.
Wow, I really thought it was encaustic! Thank you for putting this out, I am going to experiment with your techniques!
Have fun, Jeanette! I also have an online self-paced course available for purchase on my website www.lindabanfalvi.com

Thank you very much for the info. Could I use acrylic instead of oil to mix with the wax? Thank you.
Hi Elena, no, don't use the cold wax to mix with acrylics. Oil paints, Powdered pigments, pastels are compatible. Acrylics are not compatible to mix with it. You can paint over a dry acrylic painting with cold wax, just like you can paint oils over a dry acrylic painting, but not the other way.
Linda, what is the name of your tool? Is it plastic or silicone? Also, this little spray stick with a loop on the end? Thank you very much in advance.
The silicone scraper is a Messermeister bowl scraper. Works great! The tool with a loop is a Pottery carving tool. Have fun!
Great to see oil and cold wax uses for landscape, only seen it pure abstract before. Great demo
Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed it.
Are you using mostly translucent oil paint?
I do use a lot of transparent paint, but also use opaque ones, too.
Wow! This was just amazing to watch!
Thank you Gina, that's great to hear 😊

Wonderful video and so many tips.

Fabulous 👏👏👏thanks so much
Thank you, glad you like it 😊 🙏
Do you frame pieces such as this
I paint on cradled wood panel with gallery depth sides, which I paint, so I don't frame them. They could be framed by the art buyer, if they chose to, but I like the clean contemporary look.
Fabulous 👌💕 from Ireland 🇮🇪
Thank you Mary 😊
