Mein Ziel ist es, Kunstwerke zu schaffen, die darstellen, wie ich die Welt um mich herum sehe – oder wie ich hoffe, dass sie sein könnte, einen Ort, an dem Barmherzigkeit, Wohlwollen und Frieden alltäglich sind und an jeder Ecke, unter jedem Baum oder neben jedem gefunden werden können Strom. Gleichzeitig möchte ich bedeutungsvolle Arbeiten schaffen, zu denen andere eine tiefe Verbindung aufbauen und die sie als einzigartigen Ausdruck ihrer Persönlichkeit in ihr eigenes Zuhause bringen.

What are the different oil painting mediums and what are they used for? Find out how to use oil paint mediums in this guide.

Cold Wax Painting is any type of painting that heavily utilizes Cold Wax Medium into oil colors. Cold Wax is excellent for creating a variety of textures

I had been wanting to take a workshop from Rebecca Crowell as soon as I had discovered her work on the web. Then I saw that she had created a website, oilandwax.ning.com, which I joined even though I was working in encaustic and had no work to post. I had discovered how much I love wax and oil through teaching myself encaustic (although the only similarity between encaustic and cold wax is oil paint, and that wax is used in both, different mixtures, different techniques, cold v.s. hot, but that's another story), and this was another way for me to combine oil paint with a medium other than liquin, to get more depth, texture, and layers. Below are four of Rebecca's paintings . . Rebecca Crowell Rebecca Crowell Rebecca Crowell Rebecca Crowell The ones I have posted here range from higher-keyed neutral to more saturated color, cool blue to warm rust, all with subtle layering, marks, scratches, and rich, and those wonderful subtle nuances that draw me in to these paintings. I live in southeast Michigan, and Davenport, Iowa (when I looked at a map) was just past the west border of Illinois, and so not that far from me (as I'm used to driving to Rhode Island to visit my son and his family). The workshop was held in a wonderfully renovated old building, The Bucktown Center for the Arts (ac . . it was hot and humid), an elevator, outside ramp, brick walls, with many large windows. Pictures below . . . . the front . . and the back. Our group, left to right: Jacki, Laura, me, Helen, Carolyn, Rebecca, Dianne, Jennifer Such a nice group of women! . . that wonderful, midwest friendliness I so love. Jacki (far right) & Helen (4th from left) were wonderful hosts. They also have studios in the Center. Some workshop pics of Rebecca teaching and us working. While we worked . . Rebecca also worked! . . . watching Rebecca demonstrating Dianne from Chicago L to R . . Rebecca, Dianne, Laura, Jacki Carolyn from Massachusetts Jacki, Jennifer, Dianne, Rebecca Dianne and Helen As you can see from these pictures, the building and set-up were great!! The room was very large (wood floors, brick walls, tall ceilings) with lots and lots of very large windows . . and . . it was air-conditioned (that was when the midwest and east were experienceing very hot, unseasonalble weather). We each had a large table to spread out our panels and materials. And Rebecca . . she was everything I had heard about her . . kind (she brought tools for us to purchase [silicon bowl scraper, brayers], samples of Gamblin coldwax & paint to use), engaging, warm, willing to answer any question . . any time; an experienced professional artist with a wealth of information (powerpoint presentation on visual thinking, her residency in Spain; her generous sharing of all her techniques), and, for those who wished to participate, a session on marketing work. The very large room we were in made it easy to accomodate all this. And, at the end of the last day, as we all went from table to table, I was impressed by her respect for the individuality of each artist's personal, unique vision, palettes, tastes, techniques, ideas. I love talking process, concept, technique, philosophy, etc. with other artists. I wish it had gone on for a week!! And below . . something I haven't done on this blog . . is sharing some unfinished work, that I started in class. I know I'll go back to encaustic AND combine the two, but for now, I have eight panels I started in the workshop and have been working on since I came home and three larger panels. So it may be a while before I post finished pics of these. Detail of panel below I have a strong feeling that this one will end up completely different than this pic, but I like the fact that it has some intense cad orange "peeking" out from below the surface (I almost never use saturated color, so a change for me, although I love burnt sienna and rust.). The only regret I have about this workshop is that it didn't last longer!! I look forward to taking Rebecca's advanced oil and wax workshop. Also check out Rebecca's blogspot, Contemporary Abstractions. . . scrolling through the posts, I've found posts that address issues I struggle with . . like patience! . . a reminder to me to cultivate patience.

How Long Does Cold Wax and Oil Paint Take to Dry? Read on to learn more about cold wax's drying time and how to speed it up.

I decided I had worked long enough on those little 8 x 10 inch canvases trying out the oil and cold wax. I can’t get the gesture in little paintings. I am better off working with collage when I work with a more intimate size. I got out a large (and heavy) 32 x 32 […]
