Fantastic. Helpful.

[@SallyVanNuysMixedMediaArtist]

Hi! I’m so glad you found this video helpful!! The Arches oil paper is great and does not need any prep before you begin painting in cold wax and oils.❤️

I love the depth and the textures of the painting and it's so interesting to look at...in your mind's eye you could see all sorts of things.

Sally Thank you so much. That’s a brilliant idea 💡 and makes some really really stunning effects. xxx Mags

[@SallyVanNuysMixedMediaArtist]

I love working with cold wax...but sooo messy!

[@lindajustacrochetsister4659]

You are into so many different artists projects very nice

[@SallyVanNuysMixedMediaArtist]

Yeah...every time I see something new that looks fun, I dive in. I’ve been painting in acrylics for close to 50 years, so now I am incorporating mixed media with that, and some of a little bit of everything else. I’m trying to learn watercolors, but it’s been tough.

Love it!💕

Glad you like it!

[@ghys14]

Very beautiful ! Can you tell me how you are going to remove the stain that has overflowed on the white border? Thank you!

[@SallyVanNuysMixedMediaArtist]

Well, it’s not supposed to happen but you can try alcohol or gamsol on a cotton swab to take some off, but it usually leaves some staining of the paper.

[@ghys14]

@@SallyVanNuysMixedMediaArtist ah. It is not miraculous... It's a pity. Thank you very much for the information!

[@SallyVanNuysMixedMediaArtist]

@@ghys14 In this case, I would simply add a matte and frame, which will cover the stain. All is not lost.

[@ghys14]

@@SallyVanNuysMixedMediaArtist of course. It's what we have to do.

[@XJ1042]

I've been working with cold wax and oil for awhile. The torn paper masks are a good technique to try. I've been struggling. Also, I apparently have not let the gamsol sit long enough. Thanks for the vid.

[@SallyVanNuysMixedMediaArtist]

Tracy Hansen hi thanks for watching! It took me a while to get the timing down for the Gamsol to work. 20 seconds seems to work well...but when you scrape it off, just barely touch the surface! I love the torn paper marks! ❤️

[@lucretiaonutube]

Did you mix the cold wax with the paint?

[@SallyVanNuysMixedMediaArtist]

Hi! Yes, you mix the oil with the paint. About a 50/50 mixture. Mix it until the color loses its sheen. There are more oil and cold wax videos in my playlist with more instructions if you’d like to watch and learn more.

[@lucretiaonutube]

@@SallyVanNuysMixedMediaArtist thanks Sally for your quick reply. I've just bought some cold wax. I'm going to try it with my oil bar sticks. Can't wait to get stuck in x

[@SallyVanNuysMixedMediaArtist]

Janice You can use the oil sticks for drawing into the cold wax that you’ve already applied to your a substrate. It will take a good amount of your stick to actually mix a pile of color on a palette to apply with a tool (the sticks are expensive!) I would recommend some tube oils if you don’t want to use up your sticks really fast. I use mostly water mixable oils so I don’t have to clean up with solvents. If you have any more questions just ask. Always happy to help.

[@lucretiaonutube]

@@SallyVanNuysMixedMediaArtist thanks Sally, I also have water soluble oils, so will try them first Thanks for the tips!

[@nadersafipour5003]

@@SallyVanNuysMixedMediaArtist Dear Sally, in case you use water soluble oil paints with cold wax how then you clean your tools without solvent?
