The Texture
LaB
A quiet, cozy place to paint textured artworks and
reconnect with your artist self
A cosy and creative home for texture lovers!
Do you love building layers? Scraping paint. Adding marks. Discovering what appears underneath? Do you feel that little spark when a surface starts to come alive (or am I the only one who does)?
Then you are in the right place! Welcome to The Texture LaB, a cozy online space for artists who want to explore texture in every medium.
Yes, we will continue to explore cold wax and oils, including many exciting classes that dive into layered and textured techniques. But we’ll also experiment with acrylics, mixed media, collage, mark-making, tools, and unexpected materials.
Because texture is not about one product. It’s about curiosity and experimentation. And let “Explore, experiment, and have fun” be my mantra! If you enjoy the process of painting and layering more than the end result, you are in exactly the right place.

This is For You If:
I am Marina, your coach on your creative painting journey!
As many of you know, I am passionate about painting with cold wax, especially in oils, and I love sharing everything I’ve learned on my own cold wax journey. But I also enjoy exploring layered, textured painting with acrylics, mixed media, and other materials so that is what we will do too!
Seeking a sense of community, I created The Texture LaB, a monthly membership where we can come together to create, share ideas, and grow.
My mantra is “explore, experiment, and play”, because the process of painting is just as important as the end result. I can’t wait to work with you and welcome you to our creative space!
What's included inside The Texture LaB?
When you join The Texture LaB, you get ongoing access to a carefully growing library of creative classes. Most of the current classes focus on oils and cold wax, and Powerwax and acrylics (but can be done with Heavy Gel medium too!), but as we grow, I’ll be adding more texture-focused classes so you can keep exploring new ways of creating layered, textured paintings.
♥ Inside the membership, you'll find full access to all of Marina's existing courses, including her signature course Textured Portraits.
Everything inside is designed to feel calm, doable, and inspiring.
No pressure, just space to enjoy the process.
