Thanks so much for watching. I’ve learned a lot about cold wax since that time, it I still love to experiment with it and find out what it can do (and can’t do.) My most recent video is testament to that! 😂

Thank you so much Sally. That’s so helpful and useful too. I really really love 💕 how the cold wax worded with the stencils. xxx Mags

Hey Laura...it is a fun process for sure. Watch Lisa’s videos, too. You will get a good idea of how to go about creating with it...she does wonderful pieces. I have a new one coming up today,too. It’s my favorite so far.

This was such an awesome video!! Thanks for sharing!! I wish I could paint like this!!

Wonderful, thank you.

Sally...I had fun watching your take on cold wax, I love your experimentation with the different mediums mixed in! I love the effect when you used it to stencil...I also liked your idea of using the furniture wax. I use the name brand Chalk Paint clear wax for chalk painting...I'm going to give it a try with artwork! Thank you too for the shout out Sally...so appreciated and kind of you. I did enjoy the video and your finished piece!

Denise Cerro hey Denise...thanks so much for the kind words and encouragement. I’m so glad you liked my experiments. I am planning on doing more with the cold wax now that I have a bit more knowledge about it. Your video sure gave me a jump start. Now to make an actual piece of art with it! Thanks also for the sub...I appreciate that a lot! ❤️

hi Sally .. that was fun to watch! I've done this with hot wax .. but this looks less complicated and fun!! gotta' try it! XOXO, Frannie

Hey girlfriend!! Glad you liked watching me play in the wax! It was fun for sure. I did t want to get into all the heat and torch stuff, so this seemed like a reasonable alternative. Give it a go. Not expensive either.❤️

Oh. My. Goodness. I absolutely love the look of encaustic painting. ( I don’t care for the price tag to get started, especially because it’d be an experiment for me.) I work in acrylic/water based media as well, and I’ve been trying to figure out how to incorporate beeswax....🤔 Well? Yesterday I found the Dorland cold wax, & today I found this video!! You have no idea how flipping excited I am that you experimented, played, filmed, & posted!! I absolutely am 100% intrigued by embedding things into artwork....🤓 I love layers, & scratching to expose under layers...so much fun! This is a super helpful video, and I can’t THANK YOU enough!! So, thank you. ✨🤩✨💐🌺

Thanks for watching. Glad it helped you. Dorland wax has some different ingredients and a softer texture than the Gamblin wax that I use here. You’ll just need to experiment with the Dorlands and see what works.

I have soft pastels i always want to utilize them but didn't know how to. Now i think there is hope. Thank you ❤️😊

What s cool experiment! I'm not familiar with cold wax and this is the first time I've seen anyone use it. Looks a lot of fun. I'd want to try it with Acrylic paint too! Lol as you say...push the boundaries! It's all good fun trying things. Your finished piece is great. Tfs.Hugs,Dee xox

BettsyDoodle it won’t work with acrylics, Dee. The wax is solvent based and acrylics are water based...they don’t mix. I don’t think it would ever dry if you mixed them. But hey...try it...it’s all an experiment isn’t it?

Love this video. I am told by others that the cold wax can be used as a top layer to finish water color, acrylic or collage works. Use sort of like a matte varnish.

My experience with encaustic wax is with beeswax. I like the convenience of a cold wax product, as it looks like fun to play with. Thanks for mixing the different pastels, etc..., to see how they look. Very cool project, Sally.

Great video!! You mentioned a product briefly that you said you'd use in a journal instead of the cold wax that would dry much faster. Vans something or other? Could you give me the product information? Thanks!

I sometimes use Daddy Van’s beeswax polish in my journals to prevent pages from sticking together. Use a little on a soft cloth, wait about 5 minutes and buff off. It’s also beautiful on wood and furniture. Here’s the link to that product from Amazon amzn.to/37fDqQF Thanks for watching, and for your question. ❤️

You do some very cool experiments. I love the work. I gave you a giant like and I am already a subscriber. I make art tutorials and other stuff.

Did you use Matt medium on top of deli paper? I thought you couldn’t use acrylic over oil or cold wax? Thx

@SallyVanNuysMixedMediaArtist

I used matte medium UNDER the wax, but not on top of it. You can use water mediums first to lay down collage or an under painting, or prime with gesso. But once wax goes down, no more water-based mediums can be used with any success.

Is. This the wax which the carpenter use it for wood Thanks alot

No, this is an artist's wax made by Gamblin (or Dorland.) You can find it on Amazon if you search for Gamblin Cold Wax. It is solvent based and meant to be mixed with oil paints.

How would you seal/finish the piece?

@SallyVanNuysMixedMediaArtist

2 жыл бұрын

You can varnish as you would with oils after the painting is thoroughly dry, or you can just use a soft cloth to buff the dried painting to a soft waxed sheen.

Could you please tell me the brand name of the stencils you used. Very neat experiment. Thank you

How long generally does it take to dry ?

@SallyVanNuysMixedMediaArtist

Жыл бұрын

If it’s a thin layer, it will dry overnight then you can add more layers and let it dry again. You can continue to add as many layers as you want. To completely dry and cure, give it about 2 to 3 weeks before framing or shipping. Thanks for watching ❤️
