Gail, thanks!! Enjoy and have fun!!

[@森下典樹]

I happen to have a bottle of wax medium and don't know what to do with it. I'm sure abstract paintings with this material would be so inspiring and mind refreshing. Thanks for your kindness to share this content with everybody.

This is so beautiful, Lisa. I love watching your process, especially your lack of fear using black/dark and your ability to blend colors on the piece as you go.

[@LisaBBoardwine]

Jennifer, thank you so much!! It is hard to do- but if you dive in and paint fearlessly, it is amazing to see what you can create! Just play and enjoy the process!! Thanks for watching!!

Just bought these boards. This was so not messy. Oil Sticks look fun. Normally I use palette knife.. and thanks for these rubber 1/2 circles.. such a beautiful thinning layering process. Love 🎶🎶 too.

Could be a stunning abstract landscape. I will be looking to see where you take this painting. Thanks again. Yours is one of my favorite channels.

Really beautiful! Color palette please?

Thank you!!

[@CaroleMora22]

Thank you for your tutorials. I've enjoyed watching a few and have subscribed. I've also enjoyed the soundtracks. It would be great if you posted some info about each one of them, especially for this video.

[@LisaBBoardwine]

Carole, thank you for watching! So glad you are enjoying the videos and the music! I use epidemic sound and they have so much music to choose from! I usually listen to several different selections and choose what seems to go with the painting in progress! I also always paint with music on in my studio!

@@LisaBBoardwine you're welcome ;:-) Thanks to for sharing your music resource--very much appreciated!

[@suzannekfoury4453]

I wish you would relay your thoughts as you work. Also the amount of wax to oil. Beautiful work but no idea how to achieve!

Beautiful work, in fact I love all your videos. I do wonder where you can get the half circle device you use. I can’t find them. Thank you for posting all these lovely works of art.

[@LisaBBoardwine]

Jane, thank you so much! I have an Amazon storefront where I list a lot of the products I use. You can go to my Amazon storefront and click the item and order from there. It is a silicone bowl scraper! www.Amazon.com/shop/Lisab.boardwine

[@dianehansma1725]

Beautiful work....so epic!!!!! What is the largest board you painted on? I may start using cold wax and oils! Would water soluble oils work with the cold wax? Thank you for your time!!!!

[@LisaBBoardwine]

Thank you!! I have painted up to a 60x60 panel with oil/cold wax medium. I love to paint larger!! Water soluble oils do work but I prefer traditional oil paints. I do not paint with the water soluble oils but I have some students who do. Have fun! Paint, paint, paint!!

@@LisaBBoardwine thank you Sweetheart! Your work is epic!!!

[@kathydixon3824]

Beautiful how long to dry and do you varnish?

[@LisaBBoardwine]

Kathy, thanks!! Adding the cold wax makes the oil paint dry faster. Then it depends on the temperature and the humidity where you live. Also how thinly or thickly your layers are applied . But typically it dries in about 2-3 weeks. You do not have to varnish these oil and cold wax pieces but you can! You can use clear cold wax or GamVar/ a varnish from Gamblin.

[@candicewoodard8575]

Hi LIsa, Just discovered your YT channel. I have can of cold wax and unused oil paints, so will give this a try. What is drying time in between each layer? And do you seal painting with cold wax? Thank you Beautiful work.

[@LisaBBoardwine]

Thank you for watching my channel!! I usually allow about 20-30 minutes between the first layer and the second..however if you have more time that is good too. There are some techniques that need to be done on a surface that is drier. So there is lots of play and experimentation here!! You can seal the painting -when finished -with a layer of clear cold wax if you want to -but you don’t have to varnish or seal it at all. The cold wax is throughout the painting already. These pieces are meant to have a matte finish but if you want a satin or glossy finish you can use GamVar. Hope this helps!!🎨

Hello I love this. I'm confused, however, how to find part 2 of this video. I don't see how they are numbered. Thank You!

[@LisaBBoardwine]

Thanks Nick! This was a video that demonstrated how I begin the layers of an oil and cold wax painting. I didn't do a part 2 to this one. The next video, however, is a Part 1 of 2 series: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJe3imV6f8yml7M Thanks for watching!!

[@hippieartist7154]

This is beautiful but I would love to have known your thought process as you painted. I am just starting w cw and never have done abstract paintings at all. So how to know when to do what and not end up w a mess is a huge concern for me

[@LisaBBoardwine]

Thank you Teri! Working with oil and CWM is a lot about playing and just allowing yourself to explore what the medium will do! You do need to let some of the layers set up before adding another to avoid to much blending. Play and have fun!

[@abdelfettas6089]

Amazing as always Lisa, extraordinary talent. I would like to understand please, why you need to let the paint dry before continuing? What would happen if you continue while still wet? Thank you for clarifying. 🙏

[@LisaBBoardwine]

Thank you for your kind comment! This is oil and cold wax so the layers are very wet as I build them up, allowing them the have some “set-up” or drying time helps to not make muddy smears and areas. If I allow them to start drying or setting up the next layers go on more crisp and colorful! Hope this helps! Thanks again!

Where do you get your transparent Earth orange?
