Bob, so glad you have started using it! It is a fun addition to certain paintings and very personal to each artist!!
Love it, Lisa! So yummy and great tips.
Gayle, So glad you enjoyed the video!!! Thank you!!!
I love that you are using the hard board, it's so much more affordable, but not as nice as stretched canvas of course, but it works. With the larger boards they do warp~~~they said the paint an X on the back with gesso, well, it doesn't work. So I'm just going to start on my larger board anyway, for the first time. It's bowed even before I start, lol. I will get my son just to cradle it after. I wished there was an easier solution, but framing the back, gives it something to hang on to, also. Thank you again, for inspiring me~~~I AM going to go for it and let it go and express myself.
Diane, Have your son build the cradles and mount them to your panels- before you paint. This helps with the warping. You can also buy a thicker width of the masonite hardboard and that helps too! So glad you are having fun! Explore, Experiment and Express! One of my favorite mottos!!
Truly Fabulous! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for watching!!
How interesting that your first marks spelled LOVE upside down (viewer side). I wondered how many might have noticed this or if it was only me. Thanks for your demonstrations, they help give ideas on where to go with this and how to get there for a fully completed piece of artwork. I bought some Arches oil paper and will have to experiment with it.
Thank you very much FreeSpokenOne!! I had never noticed the “Love” marks before!! I like that!! I do enjoy making a lyrical line or mark and a lot of times it comes out as an L. So glad you enjoyed this demo! And very glad you are experimenting with the Arches oil paper!!! ❤️
I loved this vidéo! Thanks! Merry Christmas
IrinaM, thank you very much! Merry Christmas to you as well!!❤️🎄
Wonderful
Thank you very much!!
Thanks...have some multimedia board that I have never used. I will now,
Lynn, it is a terrific surface to work on! Glad you are going to give it a try!!
actually right about 8:00 it looked better cuz you hadn't covered the black line work. it was very mysterious looking.. however great technique, too bad wax and acrylic don't mix
Thanks Cliff!!
I love this :)
Thanks so much!!
haha - Meant YOUR knowledge!
Wonderful!
Many thanks Jen!!!

Thank you very much!!!🎨
I view your video daily to get inspired. Your tips using Gamsol was very helpful. I do have a question on how you handle the taped edges on the cradle panels.
Thanks again for all your techniques you have demonstrated.
Jane, Thanks so much for watching!! I appreciate you tuning in! The taped edges of the cracked panels protects them while I am painting, them when finished I just peel the tape add a hanging on the back and they are ready! You can leave the edges natural or stain them, paint them, it is totally up to you! I prefer leaving them natural. Hope this helps!
Encanta
Thank you!!!!
Thank you for the video!
You are welcome! Thank you for watching!!!
Thank u, i enjoyed a lot, this is so beautiful. u gave me courage 2 try Abstract but i will not know when 2 stop !!, is it okay 2 use any color or there is a special theory shall i follow !!
So glad you are inspired! It is so fun! Use your favorite colors and just play!!
Hi Lisa, Thankyou so much for your video….looks like so much fun! Could you please tell me how long it takes for the piece to dry? Many Thanks Teresa
Teresa, Thank you for watching! The paper pieces dry a little faster than on panel, but I usually allow about 3-4 weeks. The drying time also depends on how thickly or thinly the layers of paint are applied.
Thankyou for the reply, that was very helpful, I’m very grateful. Thankyou for your wonderful work Lisa.
You do mixed media with oils in a different way to me . My channel is new and I hope you like what I do
Thanks for watching!!
I find your cold wax technique much more interesting than hot wax by its speed. I am French and do not find the brand Gamblin you indicate. I only find wax to heat. How can I make it? Thanks for sharing your tips and techniques.
Joelle, thank you for watching my TH-cam channel! There is another brand of wax called Dorlands, also terrific, you might check for it as well. There are many recipes to make cold wax. You can google it and get a recipe. I do not make my own so I don't have a recipe to share.
Thank you Lisa, I found a cold wax at Powertex' shop. I can not wait to try this technique.
Joelle, so glad you found some! Let me know how you like it when you try it! So fun!!
I love your videos Linda, thank you! I wonder if you know if you can hang an oil and cold wax painting in a kitchen. I have applied a Gamblin ground and varnished with Gamsol! I just can't find any answers! That would be above a radiator too!? X
Karen, Thanks for watching my videos! I have hung oil/cold wax paintings in my kitchen for years. And I have had collectors who have said they have them in their kitchens as well. I don't think there would be any problem. Once these pieces are completely dry, the heart shouldn't affect it. Hope this helps! Lisa
@@LisaBBoardwine thank you so much for bothering to reply! I really appreciate it! It's very difficult to predict how a painting will react. I'll bare your information in mind! In that case I missed a sale today! Xx
Oh no!! Fingers crossed you will have another buyer/collector soon! I am sure you will!
It’s probably obvious but could you do this in acrylic paint
Yes, you can work on MultiMedia Artboard with acrylics too! You wouldn’t use the cold wax with acrylics however.
In my country impossible to buy wax for painting(((
How to do it and is it possible to use acrylic?
Please help!
Martisha, you can do the same layering techniques with acrylic but you cannot use acrylic mixed with wax. You can use oil over acrylic- but never acrylic over oils. Sorry you cannot purchase the wax.
does this need to be all oil type products? Or can I use acrylic over it?
Always remember you can use oils over acrylics but Never acrylics over oils!!! You can start with an acrylic under painting then finish with oils or oil/ cold wax medium. Thanks for watching!!
@@LisaBBoardwine awesome thank you so much
I really love this piece. I also enjoy the way you teach. Your voice is soothing and you are good at explaining exactly what you are doing!! Excellent!! I have 2 questions..How long does it take to dry a piece using this method?? Can you use acrylics with cold wax?? Thanks
Harriet, thank you for watching g my channel!! Drying time depends on several variables- how thickly or thinly the paint is applied, how much wax you use and the temperature and humidity. But the work should be dry within 2-3 weeks! Much faster than just using oils by themselves! You can use acrylic as an under painting but never acrylic on top of oils!!
I enjoy watching your channel. You mention using Gamsol but did not show how you used it. Was it sprayed on?
Sharon, so sorry! That got edited out by mistake! I sprinkled the gamsol on with a fine line applicator bottle to get the dots and spots as a lift reduction. You can apply gamsol by spritzing or just sprinkling it onto wet paint! Hope this helps!
@@LisaBBoardwine could I use white spirit instead of gamsol?
I'm very very new to this medium and loving your videos. Thank you. I am an acrylic, mixed media artist usually however, yesterday that changed because of wanting to experiment with cold Wax and oil. One question, do I need to seal the finished artwork? Or just leave it as is? Enjoying your inspiration all the way from new Zealand xx
Sher, thank you so much for watching my videos! I also paint in acrylic/mixed media, I enjoy both mediums!As far as sealing or varnishing you work in oil/cold wax you do not have to do anything.The beauty of oil/cold wax is the matte finish, but if you want it to have a sheen or gloss you can put a coat of clear cold wax over the dry painting, then you can buff it with a soft cloth to achieve a sheen. If you want it to be glossy you can use GamVar by Gamblin to add a varnish in matte, satin or gloss. Have fun! xo
@@LisaBBoardwine that's wonderful. Thank you Lisa. I like a lustrous glossy effect so I will try the products you've suggested. While I'm here.... your cleanup process? Wondering If you use the thinners or odourless mineral spirits? I think I saw somewhere on another clip someone using baby oil to clean their brayer! Again, thank you. I'm hooked.
Hi Lisa, obviously i became addicted to your cold wax technique which i find fantastic,.
Two questions if i may; I noticed you try more or less to keep more or less shapes such as rectangular or squares in your paintings so it holds together, any colors plan before starting since you don't diversify colors, in this painting you used the brown/orange gamut on top of its blue complementary. Are these advices you may recommend? Thank you.
abd, Thanks for watching my channel! I paint very intuitively, but I do choose certain colors for my palette. I use many different colors- for different paintings, but I do enjoy a warm palette the most. Choose your favorites and just experiment and enjoy the process!
@@LisaBBoardwine Hi Lisa, hope you’re doing well. May i ask you what is the paper’s name you use before pressing over it with a brayer please? Thank you so much. 🙏🌼🌸🌼
Thanks Lisa. I was with you at Pamela’s workshop. I wish that I had spent more time working with you. Love your work. Do you teach workshops? Jeannie
Jeanne, I do teach workshops! Check out my website for dates and places! www.lisabboardwine.com Thanks so much for watching!!
Thank you this was very helpful with the cold wax .
I’m just starting out with oil paints. I’m trying to figure out how to get my oil paint texture lines shiny.? Any advice? Can I just add extra linseed oil to my paint? Help if you can?
Sharon, I am painting with oil and cold wax medium. The cold wax makes the oil paint dry faster, gives it bulk so you can build up layers easily and it gives the oil paint a matte finish-not glossy! If you want a shiny oil and cold wax painting you can achieve that with varnishing after the painting is completely dry.
Hi Lisa, i love your work it’s very nice and subtle. I wish to start using the cold wax with acrylics but have no clue about it, any brand or specifications you recommend? Thank you.
Thanks so much for watching my videos! The cold wax can only be mixed with oil paint. I use either Gamblin or Dorlands cold wax. I use a 50:50 ratio mix of oil paint and cold wax. IT will make the oil paints dry faster than they would without the cold wax. Fun!!
Désolé je ne parle pas anglais. La peinture est uniquement de la peinture à l'huile ?
Hello, The painting is oil paint mixed with cold wax. Thank you very much for watching my video!
@@LisaBBoardwine ok ! je ne connais pas la cire froide (j'utilise de l'acrylique), la cire froide est à mélanger dans la peinture ? Est-ce que c'est proche des crayons gras ?
Merci pour le partage des vidéos !
Cold wax medium is made mainly of beeswax- with a small amount of solvent & other ingredients to aid in drying time. It is to be mixed with oil paint to change the consistency and help it dry faster. Cold wax is a paste like substance, very soft and creamy. Similar qualities of encaustic paint but no hot wax or special ventilation needed with cold wax. Thank you for your interest!
@@LisaBBoardwine merci pour tout Lisa ! je verrai plus tard si j'achète du matériel et que je me lance... en tout cas je m'intéresse. Je me suis abonnée à votre chaine : ) Au plaisir, Lucie
Lucie, If you decide to try oil paints, do try to purchase some cold wax medium to try these techniques. Acrylics cannot be used with cold wax in the same way, but only as a final varnish over a dried acrylic painting. Thank you very much for subscribing to my channel! Happy painting!
Thank you that was really helpful. How long would a piece like that take to dry for framing.
Thanks for watching! Drying time depends on many factors however, usually about two weeks or so.
Lovely vidéo...how long does this technique take to dry?
Alain, thank you for tuning in to my channel. The drying time is dependent on how thickly or thinly the layers are applied, humidity and temperature can also affect it. However, they should be dry in about 2-3 weeks. The wax speeds up the drying time with he oil paint.
Hi, the last time I painted with oil was40 years ago! Where’s the mineral spirits and mediums? Is the clean up with mineral spirits etc?
Lenmey1, the mineral spirits are Gamsol by Gamblin, odorless mineral spirits plus adding a 50:50 ratio of oil paint and cold wax when mixing each color. And yes, the Gamsol will clean your tools! Thanks for watching!
Can we not use cold wax at all?
Yes! This is oil paint mixed with cold wax on multi media Artboard!
I’ve only ever used arches oil paper, do you prefer one over the other? Do they react similarly(the first few layers on oil paper setup really quickly)? Could this be glued to a panel with something like gel medium?
Saintmoz, I enjoy using both the Arches oil paper and the multimedia Artboard! They do react similarly and differently too! I always tell my students to try everything, that way you can experience the differences-and fund the one that works best for you! Both papers do set up quicker I have found! Thanks for watching my channel!!🎨
Je trouve votre travail très intéressant mais Pourriez vous mettre une traduction de vos commentaires en français. Merci beaucoup
Thank you for watching my channel Brigitte!!
Always learn something watching your tutorials.
It appears you have a very light touch with your Messermeister(sp?). Yes?
Judith, so glad you enjoy the videos! I do use a light touch at times but sometimes the painting calls for a little more pressure. It definitely varies! Lots of trial and error!😁
Hi, thanks so much for the educational video, I really enjoyed it. One question, once the coldwax and oil mixture is dry, can you go back in with pure oil paint and medium? Or would you need to continue with wax and oil? Thank you
Jon, You can go back into these paintings with oil paint, and medium. I especially like to glaze with oil paint on top of my oil and cold wax paintings! Thanks so much for tuning in!!
Nice, Where do you find the 12 x 12 size multimedia board? Blick doesn't have it. thanks
Shirley, The 12x12 multimedia boards are ordered directly through Multimedia website. The link is listed above in the description for this video. Thank you so much for watching my channel!
thank you!@@LisaBBoardwine
Shirley, thank you for watching!!!
Thank you for your helpful videos. How do we avoid paint from cracking when using cold wax with oil paint?
Thank you for watching my channel!! Always use no more than a 50:50 ratio when mixing your oil paint with cold wax medium. Too much wax is not good!
@@LisaBBoardwine thank you so much for your reply. Unfortunately I didn’t find an art shop in my country ( Cyprus) to purchase it. They only have it in liquid or powder but not sure how that works.
How long will mixed wax keep n a container?
Suzanne, if you store paint mixed with wax in a container with a lid, it should keep for a week or so. You can also add a touch of the clear cold wax or a spritz of Gamsol-to loosen it back up if it starts to set up too quickly.
It's good, what branb paper you utilise for cold wax? Thank you I am french.
Jocelyne, I use either the Multimedia Artboard or the Arches Oil Paper, both are wonderful!! You do not have to gesso or prime either of these to begin painting! So nice! Merci, for watching my videos!!
@@LisaBBoardwine merci beaucoup.
@@LisaBBoardwine Thank's jocelyne.
How long does it take to dry?
Kimberly, Drying time varies, according to temperature, humidity, airflow, how thinly or thickly the paint is applied, and certain colors can take longer to dry. But typically it sets up in a day or two and dries in a couple weeks. Thanks for watching!!
how long it takes to dry
Lora, drying time is dependent on several variables, how thickly or thinly the paint is applied, how much wax to paint ratio you have mixed, temperature, humidity. But the wax does make the oils dry faster than they normally would. Usually they are set up in a few days to a week.
Does cold wax and oil dry so that you don’t have to put them under glass? I love double matted pieces under a better grade of glass but when making dozens of these paintings the expense is a factor!
Jimmer E, the cold wax does make the oils dry faster. When they are completely dry, you can mat them under glass with no problems. You need the mat or a spacer so it holds the painting away from the glass. Or you can adhere them to a panel and they are ready to hang with no glass! Fun!
Lisa B. Boardwine love your work! If applying to a panel, what adhesive would you suggest to secure it to the panel? Thank you!
Gina, I use Lineco Neutral ph Adhesive. You can purchase it from my Amazon Storefront- along with many other supplies I recommend. Here is the link, just go to the category of "Must Have Supplies for Oil and Cold Wax"! Thanks so much for watching!www.amazon.com/shop/lisab.boardwine
Lisa B. Boardwine thank youuuuuuu
LOVE THIS! Do you sign your abstracts on the front?
