You make Jackson Pollock proud. Your use of mono print adds a new dimension to your work. Each color of paint adds depth and texture to your work. Great job, thanks for sharing.

Thank you Pamela for sharing all your beautiful art and for being so generous. I love to watch your videos and I am a big fan of you. I have been watch your videos since the beginning. I’m truly great full to have you as inspiration for my art, my life and all the struggles we have in life. With love and gratitude, Silvana

I LOVE YOUR APROACH AND STYLE, ITS LOVELY THAT YOU ARE WILLING TO SHARE IT ALL! MAY BIG GOD BLESS THE WORKS OF YOUR HANDS.

I recently started painting with oil and cold wax thanks to your inspiring videos. I'm having a lot of fun with this. I'm a senior and enjoy part time fine art courses at our local college. Presently I'm taking a mixed media course. For one of my projects, I used oil and cold wax on Arches oil paper, a first for me. Great paper! Great media!!! I love the feel of application. My piece is small. I used a colour shaper. I saw where you randomly tore a piece of paper and used it to mono print, so I did that. What a great way to create repetition in a composition. I used the same piece to mono print, trace around and paint the shape and or outline and create a halo effect around it. Creating different similarities. Thanks for the great videos!!!

Love the use of different papers to transfer patterns to other areas of the piece. Beautiful.

The best of the best

This is a new medium for me. So far, I love the silicon spreaders and serrated spatulas I've found - but I've also had fun with gathering items on my desert walks: dried cholla branches, palm frond stems (those gnarly thorns on the edges make great mark making!), feathers, and a leg bone from some unfortunate critter-turned-food source (yuck, I know but it was very old and completely dried - and yes, I use gloves...). I have found that using organic tools found while taking a head clearing, meditative walk helps free me for what I put down on panel or paper. I love the whole intuitive process. So far, it's become a winding down tool for me (I still teach full time so quiet time after being with 31 energetic 9-10 yr olds and a dozen cranky adults is essential!). Best "therapy" ever! I try not to analyze at this point but just loosen up and get familiar/proficient with the wax, oils, and other tools. Thank you, Pam, for always being so incredibly generous and inspiring for all of us

I enjoy having fun with paint using bits of crumpled paper towel to make interesting shapes & marks.

Pamela ji.. if anyone want to learn heartily.. without giving any fee.. you are giving the best opportunity.. thanks to God and your team..

Awesome!!

I have really enjoyed these large panel paintings. Working large is a big challenge for me.

great ideas to be loose and creative

Hvala za demonstracijo.

Such a fun video! You really demonstrate the idea of the play stage and how nothing is really planned, but is a discovery. My favorite tool you used was the long, bouncy rod. It took away control and allowed the play stage to really take on a life of it's own. Can't wait to try it! Thanks, Pam! Can't wait for the next video!

thank you for sharing your techniques and material you are using, very interresting, i love it

Your mark making is quite astonishing regardless of the medium. Very impressive. The work is beautiful

Great Work Pamela, Very, very creative techniques and vision of the composition. Thank you

Art & Success- Pamela Caughey Art 🎨🖌'' Wonderful looking piece Pamela its looking nice I dig it lots! Thanks for the Awesome share!✌🎨😱

I love all these ideas for tools! I often find myself using my fingers, but I also like several of my kitchen tools, including those for decorating and pastry. Thanks!

Hi Pam. Another great video, can’t wait to see the follow up. A couple of tools I love with cwm, my fingers and those heavy duty claw shaped scrapers that rip through layers of old cold wax. Sometimes I use them to make lines and sometimes I use them over the whole painting to reveal a beautiful surface that I am then unable to figure out where to go next! If I am using inks to make an undersurface I recently used reeds from my garden. I used the rounded top and it gave me some unpredictable lines. I can only use each reed once before it falls apart but it was fun to play with and made me think that there must be other interesting things to use from outside.

Thank you for the fabulous video. I love to use a scalpel with a rounded blade for scraping, also a dentist tool for fine lines. But the tool I still love best is a traditional good quality synthetic brush. When used with oil, cold wax and some medium it as a most luscious and sensual feel.

You are very generous handing out information. My favorite tools are rags, credit cards and drawing on paintings with charcoal.

I've had good results from a builder's trowel...the sort used for laying bricks.! Very coarse scratchy paint surfaces created by it.

You're a kind and generous artist. And your work is great. Thank You!

Your starts always amaze me. Free as a bird. I love this part of the process, it's later in the game that I start to tighten up. Getting better at it. I get too cerebral after a few layers. I'll keep practicing.

I am absolutely knocked over by this. Wow. This is exactly what I wanted to learn! Thank you so VERY much!

The death throws of ART !

One of my favourite tools is a rag using it to smear paint across the canvas or wipe it away. As a variation, I also use crumpled newspaper to spread paint around. Thank you for the inspiring video!

Wonderful! Love the transfer technique with various papers for exaggerated outcomes.

Thanks for another learning video, Pam! I love Nova paints also--fluid and saturated. My favorite tool is a sponge brayer. Paint rolls on smoothly and can be worked into the surface which eliminates brayer lines nicely.

Thank you for another interesting and informative video. You are so easy to listen to and I am going to watch this again and again!

Lately, I have been loving using the screwdriver. But I always feel most connected to my art when I use my fingers.

Trying out a longer brush has been on my list for a long time and your video is spurring me on to get one organised to try out. Thank you once more for all the inspiration and information.

Great technique!!!

Posting for Pam Brown Just discovered your tutorial on KZfaq. Wonderful to learn and discover new artists to expand my learning. My favorite tool is a blowtorch.

Fabulous....really interesting. I love your use of different tools....very inspiring. My favourite tool at the moment is bubble wrap!

Love watching your fabulous work Pamela……. So inspirational with your mark making and innovative techniques!!❤️

Hi Pam, These videos that show your process are always very interesting to me. Thank you for posting them! My favorite tool is a Catalyst W-06. I can lay the color on in so my ways it give me a sense of freedom.

So much fun! Very fun to watch you play with materials and get ideas from watching you use the different tools and mediums. I like to experiment as well. Maybe my current favorite is simply a plastic foam kitchen sponge (you know the yellow sponge covered in white netting, firm). Twisting and turning it adds quite a lovely dimension!

Magically beautiful Pamela , thank you !

My new squeegee tool has been awesome fun as I love exploring the effect of a transparent layer of oil and cold wax over parts of my painting - beautiful!

This is excellent, Pamela. Keep rockin’, and looking forward to taking your new class😃

My favorite tool, now that you have inspired me again, is some caution orange plastic construction barrier netting. I use a brayer to roll paint over it and I get lovely desired rectangle patterns... great visual “structure” for backgrounds. Also great for simulating fishnetting in water when doing more realistic seascapes.

I love watching you paint Pamela! My favorite tool is the squeegee. I have just started with cold wax/ oil and abstracts. Equally love using acrylics! Thanks for sharing!

I use my stencils and of course the famous BOWL SCRAPER - I am convinced that Gamblin Cold Wax has better finishing than the Dorland - having used both I recommend Gamblin brand. I have found rolling stencils on Amazon under kids clay tools that are super unique and I hope to be use them more - Wendy

My current favourite tool is the Messermeister bowl scraper. Your videos are so helpful to me. Thank you for sharing your techniques and knowledge.

I love all of these ideas. But I have to put my brush on a long stick like Pam. Looks like a lot of fun!

Your heart is so into your talent.... I can feel you all the way from Colorado your heart is so full of love for what you do and teach.... Thank you millions, tons billions does that say it all. LOL As far as my favorite tools may I say I don't know what to call some of them. I pick up stuff where ever I go I see it start laughing and think hey this will work. So I call them thing-ies, my goodies and I even got this cool tool out of a box that arrived that had a kitchen gadget for scraping. I was like heck no this is for painting. I have 3 boxes of everything and anything. Does that count. :) Have a lovely day!

Great information Pam! I love watching you paint and learn something with every video. My favorite tool is the silicon brush.

Thanks Pamela for your openness and sharing! I love using a very large offset spatula -- on the flat, with the end, and on the edge for making large gestural lines cutting through to colors below. Also large clay shapers for more detailed areas also in a subtractive way. Also brush like plumbers helper drain clearing tool... . It's flexible! Love the feather duster and "long - long" handled brush!

Enjoyed the video; looking forward to part 2. My favorite tool is a 4 inch plastic spreader.

Pam, thank you. This is another well done informative video. One of my favorite tools is a kitchen fork, either plastic or metal.

Hi Pamela, Thanks so much for this video, love the mono printing part especially. I purchased a artisan handmade Wisk broom for my fireplace... but decided to use it in the studio instead. :) I love to use this to move around my paint. It's like a large paintbrush with straw as the bristles. Makes a really cool mark.

Great video, thanks again! My favorite tool is the catalyst wedge in various shapes.

Thank you for this video, Pam. I love watching others make their art. Looking forward to the next one....

Pamela! You are certainly doing the 'dance' on this piece - great exercise!!! My favorite tools are color/coldwax silicone spreaders - called CATALYST (numbered series W01-W04, W06...comfortable to grip, strong but flexible - subtract paint beautifully as well - and are easy to clean with veg oil. I still use my paint 'brushes' but marking tools are taking over !!! Loving this medium!!!

After watching this video I had to get up and paint. This piece is amazing! Love your videos,

Oh my goodness, I loved watching this video. I just wanted to grab those panels and put them on my wall!

Fascinating to watch your process Pamela. So loose and intuitive. I love how you said the painting has a "memory" of what you were feeling when you painted it. That's a fabulous take away from this video. I've been making my own tools from botanicals found in nature and exploring mark making working with ink on large pieces of paper. After watching this video, I'm going to try some of your printing techniques to transfer the mark to another part of the paper. Thanks so much!

My fav tools are hotel key cards! A great reminder of my travels. My other can’t live without are 1 inch flat brushes.

Hi Again, I work with different mediums. Watercolor, alcohol inks, oil and wax, acrylic. I love to explore all. What I love about oils and cold wax is the flexibility to play and the endless opportunities to be creative. I really hope to attend one of your workshops one day. Thank you again and God continue to bless you. ❤️

Hi Pam! I really enjoyed the video! So nice to watch you “in action” on these. (I have always been a little uncomfortable working in front of others, even in school, so appreciate your approach immensely)! I favor all the catalysts, plus a “nut pick” from nutcracker set (both ends work)! 😊 I’m a little slow but love the online workshop! 🌻

My favorite tool is one I made with a hollowed out bamboo stick and horse hair. I made a brush to use in my India ink and create several designs on my white cradled boards as a base for my Encaustic work.

That was very fun to watch, Pam. I have just started using cold wax and i got some interesting patterns with these foamlike furniture leg covers that came on a sofa I had delivered. They have a diamond shaped weave that's easy to spread as wide as you'd like.

my favorite tool is the silicone wedge scraper followed by the diamond shaped #36 palette knife.

Great video Pamela! Curious to see the next stage. My favorite tool at this moment is all kinds of waxy papers. I like how it removes the brush strokes, takes your hand out....

What fun! I don’t have space inside to work large like that currently, but now want to figure a way to do so. My favorite tool is a spray bottle filled with water, ink, or high flow acrylics. Thanks for doing a video on acrylic paint.

Amaizing, love it. Admire your tecnique. Extremly creative work. Thank you!

A thumb up and a subscription!

Tx Pam for another great video! I really enjoy your online course! One of my favorite tools is the silicone brush. I also like to use found objects, like twigs, small branches etc. Lynn Fournier

My favorite tool is the bamboo pen I made from freshly cut bamboo. We made the pen in a class I took in Ireland. Apparently, bamboo grows in my instructor’s yard in County Donegal. I use it with watercolors. I did not get the tip as pointed as the one I bought but the feathery end makes interesting effects.

Loved the video and want to see the conclusion...don't we all! My favorite tool is a huge British brush called a "flogger". it has very long horsehair bristles.

Posting for L. Pfeffer Hello Pamela, I enjoy watching your videos very much and have learned quite a bit. Thanks very much. L Pfeller

omygosh you paint like i did in college and i love you for it... was in coma, so i forget all my past.. most anyway but i get glimmers when i see things......... like you immersed and walking around a painting ... i used to get right into the paint.. one i used a hockey stick.. lol i love your work ty for this so much it gives me a great feeling, and memory i forgot! xo

Great...Thanks so much for all the information....now to just get going! Val

Hard to say absolute favorite! But had a great time with a child's wooden block given to me by a friend. One side has the raised parallel "stripes" the other side an image.

This looks like so much fun. Right now, I am mark making on smaller pieces. I would really love the space and excuse to make large pieces like you. I feel that size calling to me. Thanks for demonstrating making monoprints on the canvas to create the repetition of shape and line. I'm going to use that now.

I have been watching the Module 5 videos on color. They are fantastic .

I am enjoying your freedom and playfulness.... I am doing watercolor.... like you, I need to give myself permission to PLAY to see a new side of me! Taking that step is quite challenging. Somehow we’ve been taught to be productive .... and playing doesn’t seem to fit that description. You are encouraging me ,!!

Helpful. Thank you

My favorite tool is my Japanese trowel. I use it constantly!

Beautiful...

The brown paper you're using is called masking paper. It's used with masking tape on a tool called a hand masker. Painters use it to cover windows, trim and any services they wish to keep clean.

Awesome work Pamela.

great technique

Hi Pamela, I've just watched this wonderful video and been inspired to go to larger works. You are a born motivator! I use a range of the usual tools ( and then have lots to clean up, including my fingers!) my favourite tool right now is an old fashioned nib pen dipped in Aero Color. Once dry the beautiful marks and drips show through later layers. I've also screwed up block chocolate paper which makes unexpected marks. I also close my eyes sometimes when making marks with my weaker hand... it's such a different result. Thank you so much for sharing.

It's fantastic very amazing work thank you so much 👍

You remind me of the fun I had when I first started doing abstract painting as a form of art therapy. I need to get back to that feeling and you are helping me a lot.... Thank you!

My favorite tools are sticks that I pick up outside. I use them with thinned acrylic paint or ink. I also use the brown painter's paper for collage and love your use if it for monoprint. Thank you for the terrific and very informative videos and for the class that I just started. I love it!

absolutely stunning and inspirational, thank you so much for sharing 🌺

My ‘current’ favorite is the color shaper made by Forsline & Starr. I use it for mark making in wet acrylic or wet oil/cwm.

I love to watch you play, Pam! One of my favorite tools is a pipette. I can use I like a large applicator bottle with fluid paint.

I love my set of ArtGraph tailor’s chalk-style bars-especially the indigo and the white ones. Dip in water and the inky bold marks are beautiful! Also love the 1” silicone “brush” that Pamela suggested in her resource list and on her videos.

Beautiful and easy. Can’t wait to try it

Thank you Pamela! I love using combs of all different materials and width spaces. I love your work and can’t wait to use the cold wax and oil to add to my artistry. Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!

My favourite tool is a silicone pottery bowl smoother. It is very flexible :)

Hi Pam, great video (as always!). My favorite tools are credit cards and pottery tools for gouging and scraping in lines and shapes.

Favorite tools lately = heavy duty scraper/blade and a stick with random tree branches tied on. 🤓

Thank you Pamela! My favorite tool? That's a very hard question as I have so many that I love. I would have to say a plastic bench scraping tool that I bought at a homeware store. It was very cheap and it's my 'go to' tool when I find myself trying to control too much in my work.

Stupendo.. Meraviglioso.. Bravaaa!!!
