Fantastic video, Lisa. You are an amazing teacher. Anyone who enjoys cold wax painting who is within range of one of your workshops should try to take it. Thank you for what you share!

[@LisaBBoardwine]

Thank you Mary! Always fun to paint with you! Thank you for the good words!!

[@susanmarcoux7005]

Well darn it Lisa, I was really hoping for that large bit of thick blue you added (the one near the center) 💙 would get to live because I thought it was beautiful exactly how it was. Oh well then..

[@LisaBBoardwine]

Susan, thanks for watching! You never know what will remain and what will be covered!! All very intuitive and just having fun!! 😃

[@bufboston1]

I think your videos are really great- very inspiring; I love how process oriented and open to possibility your work seems. With all the pour videos and the like clogging the ether, it's so great when someone does an instructional video and has something to say that's both informative and interesting.

[@LisaBBoardwine]

George, many thanks for your kind comments! Thank you for watching my KZbin channel!

[@darlenewilkinson9570]

My color pallet is turquoise orange and browns. When I lived in Va I worked only in earth tones, but a year before moving I went to the turquoise pallet. Then we moved for AZ! So my muse knew what was going to happen, I was in training for Az hahaha. I took one of your classes and got hooked into cold wax painting. Thank you!!!!

[@LisaBBoardwine]

Darlene, that is a gorgeous color palette!! So glad you were in one of my classes! Oil and cold wax is so much fun!! Paint on!!

[@edyerae1000]

Was it gamsol that you sprayed? Love your paintings and demos.

[@leehalstead5260]

wonderful video so clearly presented. Thank you Lisa so much. My typical palette is blues and ochres so interesting to see your use of reds and oranges here. Lots of inspiration for us cold wax artists!

[@LisaBBoardwine]

Catherine, Thank you for sharing your favorite palette! It is so interesting to know what other artists are drawn to! Blues and ochres would be beautiful! Glad you like the videos!

[@catherinegauci9644]

I've been painting with cold wax for a while now but no workshops near where I live so to see how I can best use the solvent and messimeister scraper was fantastic. I eagerly went into the studio today to try it and had so much fun!

[@LisaBBoardwine]

Glad you liked the video Catherine and had fun in the studio trying some of these ideas!

[@nancywhite7897]

Mesmerizing, enchanting, watch it over and over. May I ask you, which R& F pigment sticks are translucent, or which ones are your favorite ones for glazing? I would like to order some. Thank you so much, Lisa. Love everyone of your videos, I am learning so much from you.

[@LisaBBoardwine]

Nancy, thank you very much! So glad you are enjoying and learning from my videos! The R&F sticks say whether they are transparent or opaque, my favorites for glazing are Indian yellow and alizarin orange. But there are so many more I love using too! R&F pigment sticks are just amazing!!

[@beckybrandl8957]

The history, mystery, and mark making creates a lovely painting. You make it look easy. Do you have in mind where the light and dark areas will be in your composition before you begin? It appears as though 'light' is coming up through the layers. The orientation that you chose is the one I would have chosen also. I hope you'll share the finished painting after you look at this for a few days. Thank you for your generosity in sharing your talent.

[@LisaBBoardwine]

Becky, Thank you for your comment! I really don't usually have anything in mind at the beginning, because I may turn the painting completely around if I think it needs it, but that being said, once I start layering, I may push the lights and darks in a specific area when I start to see a certain orientation that I like. Thank you for watching the videos!

[@leninha-carioca]

Very beautiful. Thank you.

[@LisaBBoardwine]

Thank you Mari!!!

[@StudioPashnada]

This has changed so much from video one ~ unless you look deeply, the red is almost gone! Very nice 👍🏼 I like to rotate my abstracts too ~ good composition works from any side ~ but sometimes it makes it too hard to choose an orientation LOL Thanks for the series ~ can't wait to see more 🙏🏼

[@LisaBBoardwine]

Sherry, thanks for following the progress of this painting! These pieces do change every time we add something new! Rotating your work is a very helpful way to decide which way it works best and if it is finished! Thank you for watching the videos!

[@janem5686]

Wouohhh it’s Stunning Lisa ! What is Freezer Paper and your kind of roller brayer please ? I live in France and sometimes it’s difficult to find certain brands of furnitures. Thank you so much Lisa and thank you for sharing. 🙏🙏🙏

[@LisaBBoardwine]

Jane, thank you for watching my channel!! Freezer paper is what butchers and cooks use to wrap meat and other things in to store in the freezer. One side has a wax coating which works great for your palette. It is thicker than normal kitchen wax paper. It can be found in grocery stores here but n the section with aluminum foil, wax paper, Saran Wrap etc.. Once you are finished using the palette, you just throw it away! Easy clean up! 😁

[@janem5686]

Lisa B. Boardwine 1000 Thank You about it. What kind of roller do you use? I can't find this information anywhere. 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@pineconemediadesign]

Wow. The colors are amazing. The dark harder edge area on the left is bothering me as there are no other edges like that. It will be so interesting to see how you finish it! Thank you!

Erin, Thank you very much for your comment and for watching!!

[@HeiderosesPhotograph]

YOU ARE AMAZING....THIS IS THE KIND OF PAINTINGS I LIKE.....COULD I DO THIS ON A CANVAS....I KNOW THERE IS A LOTS OF PRESSURE FROM THE BRAYER AND SCRAPING....TFS....

[@LisaBBoardwine]

Ann, this is done best on a rigid surface. The stretched canvas has flexibility and does “give” when pushed. However, Gamblin makes a product calledGalkyd Gel which is suppose to help with the flexibility -if you choose to work on canvas. I prefer panels or paper. Thanks for watching!!!

[@JoanMaddie]

Wow this is so beautiful. The colours are so well blended in - with many layers. I have two questions. The big oil crayon makes a very nice effect. Is it possible to use that together with acrylic paint over. I also wonder what the Spritz water is. It makes very exciting effects. Don't think we have that in Europe. Is it possible to use alcol ink instead.? Thank you for all the beautiful paintings you share with us.

Celina, Thank you very much!! Appreciate your comment!!

[@yogasaraswati1230]

Thank you...just discovered you and have loved watching. Is the gamsol spritz you use neat, and could an odourless turps be used for the same purpose?

[@LisaBBoardwine]

Thank you for watching my channel! I have not tried the turps for the spritz effect but I would definitely give it a try! You want it to lift the top layer to reveal what is underneath!! Have fun!!

[@dianehansma1725]

Loved these 3 parts...very soft look, you are so creative! I would love to see more abstracts with just acrylics! When your cold wax and oils are dry....do you spray or varnish your work when finished? Thank you!!

[@LisaBBoardwine]

Diane, thank you!! I plan on doing more acrylics on video soon! I love both mediums! You can varnish them if you want to but you don’t have to. Since you are building up the cold wax in each layer you wouldn’t have to varnish. But you can use GamVar as a final varnish or even a coat of the clear cold wax -once the painting is completely dry.

What a beautiful technique...Wow !!! Where do you purchase your supplies and essential equipment? Do you coat your paintings with a lacquer and how long after finishing your artwork? I hope that you have a website. You are a wonderful teacher... Thank you, Gordon Swayze

[@LisaBBoardwine]

Smudge1942 Thank you very much for watching my channel! I buy supplies from Jerry's Artarama, Dick Blick, Amazon, Lowes, any place o can find interesting tools and products. You do not have to varnish these painting because you are building each layer with wax, however if you want to varnish Gamblin makes a product called GamVar in gloss, satin and matte finishes , or you can cover a dry painting with a coat of clear wax and lightly buff. My website is www.lisabboardwine.com Thanks again for your comments!

[@Smudge1942]

Hi Lisa, Thank you for you kind reply. I signed up on. your website and I ordered a lot of Gamblin product on Jerry's site. This is very exciting and I will be following your website very closely. Do you ever mix cold wax and acrylic paint together? I imagine that acrylics are OK for a base coat ground, but they may not be adequate for blending with the wax. Have a blessed day, Gordon S. @@LisaBBoardwine

[@LisaBBoardwine]

Thanks so much for signing up for my website! You can use acrylic as an underpainting then add cold wax and oil on top, but never the other way around! It is a lovely technique to use oil/cold wax over an acrylic. Thanks again!

[@johnoneill7379]

Hi Lisa, thank you so much for posting these gorgeous videos, I’ve been watching them all day. Can you tell me if the R and F oil sticks you use are the same as Windsor and Newton or Sennelier oil bars? Also, what is the blue scraper specifically?

[@LisaBBoardwine]

Thank you for watching my channel!R&F oil pigment sticks are the best, they are similar to the other oil bars, however, much creamier and the colors are amazing!! The blue scraper is a Messermeister scraper. Great for applying paint!

[@janaskolaudyova5113]

Please, can you tell me what liquid you sprayed on the white surface?

[@LisaBBoardwine]

Jana, thank you for watching my KZbin channel! I am using Gamsol which is odorless mineral spirits, on the surface.

[@jimmyfortrue3741]

Re: orientation, I like the dark on the bottom... But probably because I love landscapes.

[@LisaBBoardwine]

It is good to look at paintings in different orientations, usually one way seems to stand out more!

[@dunno558]

Lisa a new fan here..what cold wax should you recommend to us to buy?

[@LisaBBoardwine]

Thank you so much!! Thanks for watching my KZbin channel!! My favorite cold wax is Dorlands or Gamblin! I love both!!❤️

[@johnwhelan1193]

So how do you protect it like can one glaze it ? Can you say use it as background and paint oil on it. I love it but totally new to it

[@LisaBBoardwine]

John, You do not have to varnish this at the end- like traditional oil paintings. However, if you choose to "varnish" it you can use a clear coat of cold wax, when the piece is completely dry, then lightly buff with a soft cloth, or Gamblin now makes a product called GamVar- in Gloss, Satin and Matte, that you can put over the painting when completely dry. It is such a fun medium to work with!Thanks for watching!!

[@HarrysHappenings]

Hi Lisa I have just finished my first attempt at cold wax art and I feel this a great opportunity for me to break away from landscapes. I love your tutorials and I am inspired and I can learn a lot from you. Can I ask what is the paper you use scrunched up? Is it a baking paper or something else? I am in the UK so no wallmart here. Also is there any other cold wax's that you have found that work just as well as the Gamlin official wax? It is expensive. Also if you work on a block or board/canvas that has a thickness do you paint the sides? How exactly do you leave it with the view to hanging it or selling?

[@LisaBBoardwine]

Good for you! It is a fun medium which allows for so much play and experimentation! So glad you like my videos and channel! The paper I use is plain, cheap tissue paper, gift wrapping thin, tissue paper! In addition to Gamblin cold wax medium, I also use Dorlands, it is very creamy! Not sure if you can purchase in the UK, but it is also a great cold wax medium! Have fun!

[@DineseBeckert]

Was that water sprayed on the cold wax and oil? I am familiar with the technique as it relates to acrylics, just not so when dealing with oils and cold wax. Perhaps your oils were water-based? I know that's a thing, less chemicals to clean up, just water.

[@LisaBBoardwine]

Dinese, I use Gamsol-odorless mineral spirits to spritz on the painting, which will lift the top layer to reveal the history below. We never use water oil paintings, the Gamsol is made by Gamblin. A fun technique! Thanks for watching!

[@DineseBeckert]

@@LisaBBoardwine ah! And yes, water and wax don’t mix anymore than oil and vinegar, unless you add a thickening agent. So the technique is similar in its effects with wax as water sprayed on acrylic, it will remove the top to reveal the colors below, or the canvas itself! Thanks!

[@carolinamoreno5900]

♥️

[@LisaBBoardwine]

Thank you!!!❤️

[@tinabendz7501]

... so, if you don’t uses all your mixed color and cold wax can you save it ?

[@LisaBBoardwine]

Tina, Yes you can save it!! It will keep for several days- usually. You can cover your palette with saran wrap or wax paper each day after your studio session, or buy some of the plastic little containers with lids and store your extra paint in these. If it dries out a bit either add a little wax and mix or spritz with a small amount of gamsol. Thanks so much!!

At least 10 times I would have called this piece complete but you showed me to keep going until there is nothing left - absolutely nothing - then it is complete!
