Add a glow to your paintings !

MINI-CLASS | Girls in Gold

Let's add some shimmer to your portraits and learn how to paint portraits on a golden background

These girls were both projects for a yearlong Mixed Media Class,  'Make Create Express 2021' and  'Soul Gathering 2022' where I was honoured to be a guest teacher among other great artists. For those who haven't taken these classes, I have combined the projects into a mini-class!

Both girls are painted in oils and cold wax medium on a golden acrylic background and made with a limited colour palette. You can paint over an acrylic background with oils and cold wax, just not the other way around!I love working with a limited palette, since you don't have to make decisions about the colour!

Put on some music and paint along with me!  

These are the two projects that you'll find in this mini-class!

GIRLS IN GOLD

Although I usually use a lot of base layers and create an abstract background before I start my portraits or figures, I love to experiment and try out new things. For these projects I only started with an acrylic background before adding the portrait. I worked a lot with a brush which I normally don't do,
and I love the outcome!

These girls where projects in the mixed media classes 'Make Create Express 2021' and 'Soul Gathering 2022' and for those who haven't taken these classes, I combined the 2 projects into a mini-class.

 I am Marina, your painting guide!

I am passionate about painting representational art in cold wax and oils and I love to share my passion with you!

I became absolute hooked on painting with cold wax medium and it has changed my creative process enormously.

Although we see a lot of abstract painters using the medium, it is absolutely possible to paint representational with the cold wax medium!  In my classes you will find theory, exercises and step by step projects that will help you in your cold wax journey, whether you are a starter or an advanced cold wax painter. 

 I thoroughly enjoy Marina’s style of teaching. She is down to earth and relatable. Her lessons are taught in such a way, that you create your OWN work of art; and not a copy of what she is creating. She makes herself available for questions, advice and encouragement. Not only did I learn new tips and techniques; I also gained inspiration and confidence with oils and cold wax medium. I have sold MANY of the pieces I created since taking her course...and several I’m so in love with....they hang in my home...I will not be able to part with them! Thank you Marina for sharing your love of CWM and Oils!
