Dear Linda, this is absolutely stunning! I cannot wait to try a floral abstract in cold wax and oil! Thank you for sharing creative process with all of us. I enjoy your tips and your frankness 😊
I’ve been along with you on this beautiful journey! I love and am glued t9 every step of the way in all 3 videos. I watch ALL your videos....I love every thing that you do. I’m confused about cold wax. All I think I’ve seen in these 3 videos is just painting with the bowl scrapper. I see different things in any of your cold wax videos. Could you please tell me what COLD WAX is? Is it a type of paint...a technique. I have seen you do transfers with tissue like paper and I have seen you apply a white type paste on the paper with your hands. Love it all but don’t understand COLD WAX. Thank you LINDA. Love love your work!!❤️🎨
Cold wax is soft beeswax...it’s a medium that you add to oil paint or dry pigment. It’s become my favorite way to paint. I suggest a workshop to learn the many techniques. 😃
Dear Linda, thank you for all your wonderful videos- your work is just so wonderful! I can only paint when I have the time off work, but my dream is to one day be able to do it full time. May I ask- do you manage to live from your art?
Mikush, I didn’t start painting till I was 57 so there is plenty of time. Paint when you can. Even is you only rake 30 minutes each day, you will continue to get better. I do very well with the sales of my paintings. Thanks for your comment.
Wow Linda- that's amazing! It looks like you have painted all your life, you are so incredibly gifted. These are encouraging words for me thank you. And thank you for being so generous as to share with us these wonderful videos of your process. They have helped me so much. God bless! : )
Love your painting Linda. I just found you and don't know anything about this art. It is Beautiful. But, I guess it can not be done with acrylics and cold wax? Just wondering, since I never painted with Oil.
@@LindaBentonMcCloskey Thank you for the reply. I thought so, but was hoping for a maybe :) I'll buy a couple of tubes of Oil paints and will try it out
Great Talent what must you do to prepare it to sell? Will you Seal it or varnish it so that it does not change with temperatures? I wouldn’t want it to melt or change the artistic quality, completely dry and sealed one delivered.
Beautiful Linda. Thanks for the instruction.
Thanks Jan!
Love the finished piece Linda! I especially love your commentary throughout your work process. Thank you!
Amy, thank you so much. I try to remember to talk about why I do,the things I do. 🤪 ❤️
Lovely work!
I love it. Cold wax is such a wonderful medium. I’m learning and knowing how important it is for the under texture and movement. 🌺💜
So true!

Dalia...cold wax and acrylic do not mix...not compatible at all! 😢

You don’t have to seal it. Sometimes I put a clear coat of cold wax on top, but it’s not necessary.
I have been using water soluble oils recently. I guess the cold wax would not be good with that?
Yes...you absolutely can use water soluble oils! Enjoy! 😀
@@LindaBentonMcCloskey wow! I will have to try! Thanks!
do you use a source photo?
No not usually. Most of my paintings are intuitive. Thanks for commenting.
