Oil and Cold Wax Experiment #7

I forgot how strong the odor of oil paint was….

My studio is next to my bedroom and
the odor is creeping under the door.
Waking up during the night I want to open the door,
go in and start a new painting.
Is that a good sign? I think so...
It is interesting but, whatever abstract mark I make
I always end up with some kind of landscape.
So, I guess I need to go with the flow...
Abstraction will come when it is ready...
Middle of the night project...Still in progress.
My first try on "oil paper"..

Oil and Cold Wax Experiment #6

On Strathmore 18" x 24" mixed media pad,

I painted with Oil and Cold Wax
and came up with these three paintings.

 My goal was to create three atmospheric abstracted landscapes.

They were a challenge but, I believe they work well together. 

Unfortunately when I pulled the blue painter's tape off 

it ripped some of the paper around the paintings...

  I"ll  have to mat and frame them  

or mount them on a cradled board, separately.

Oil and Cold Wax Experiment #2

I spent the afternoon working on these two paintings.

I was experimenting with cold wax and oil paint.
Mixing together the cold wax and the oil paint - 50/50 ratio.

In the past I have used Encaustic (hot bees wax with oil pigments)
 which is a very different technique.

I find cold wax very challenging but exciting at the same time.

It is going to take a while for me to master this new medium.

I haven't posted for a while, life got in the way!

 I put away my encaustic paints and my favorite torch for a while 

and began playing with oil and cold wax...

Here are 2 experiments on mixed media paper. 

They are on the same paper, 

not sure if I should separate them 

forcing them to be single!  

 Should I or Should'nt I ?
