OILS | CHILDREN in Cold Wax & Oils
Capture the magic memories of your loved ones in oils and cold wax and make an unique painting that will be different from all your other paintings!
Let's capture the magic moments in Paint!
Let's get out the beautiful pictures of our lovely (grand) children and capture their beauty! In this class, I'll guide you through painting children, mostly with a palette knife on a textured background. This class is not only about painting children in cold wax and oils but also about finding inspiration, colour bridges and so much more!
Module 1
Proportions of a child
A child is not just a small adult, the proportions are different! Bigger heads, short chubby legs, eyes that are lower in the head, even when you work from a picture it is good to be aware of these differences!
Module 2
Warm Up exercises
In this second Module, we will do some fun warm up exercises to get into the process! Drawing without looking and upside down drawing will all help you to get connected with your subject!
Module 3
A girl in different values
I come back to this in almost all my classes, values are more important than colour! So a very good exercise is to paint with one colour and black and white and concentrate on the lights and the darks.
Module 4
The twig collector
This is another full lesson in which we talk about finding inspiration around you, making colour bridges and working with a palette knife. We will use all what we learn in this lesson to create the beautiful painting 'The twig collector'!
Module 5
On the beach
In this step by step project we take our inspiration from an old dutch Master painter! We will start with base layers, create textures and then paint the children on the beach on top of a textured busy background
Module 6
Bonus lesson - Cold Wax Gift tags
Let's make some beautiful gift tags in the Bonus section! I am sure your loved ones would love to have a present with a 'home-made' label!
With this course you will learn:
- How to warm up before you start painting

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.
SUPPLY LIST
No need to buy everything on the list, use whatever colours and tools you have! In fact, to start you only need Cold Wax Medium, oil paper (or gessoed watercolour paper) and an old credit card to apply the paint!
"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! "
