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!!!

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

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.

Hi Mimi - that sounds awesome. I do find myself in the child toy section at the thrift store ever since I saw Paula Roland (master of encaustic monoprinting) demonstrating a child's toy car on the hot metal plate with wax - the little wheels made incredible marks! Thanks for sharing this! I"m getting so many great ideas from all of you - YAY! :)

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.

Hi Shelley - I think that's why I like working on the floor sometimes - you can really move things out of the way even if you don't have the wall space! :)!!

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 ,!!

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.

Hi John! Thank you - I think you may have (kindly) told me that before but when I'm in painting mode, it's amazing how much info flies out of my head. I love this paper - love the different sizes and perhaps one day I will use it for masking and not just monoprinting! Thanks for again letting me know the name of this product :)!!

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.

Hey Patricia! How wonderful to hear from you! I miss you! Given you live in NZ - your tools sound very different and intriguing to me - and unfamiliar! Like, what is Aero Color? And, "Block Chocolate paper"? Hmm.....I am soon going to do a video on a painting using wrappers from lots of different kinds of chocolate. Who says you can't have your chocolate and eat it, too? Much love - miss you! Happy Painting!!

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!

Oh wonderful, Rebecca! I'm so glad you are enjoying the course and a good friend of mine gave me an awesome tool made of wound together twigs; it was a favorite until it kind of broke but then I'm not the most gentle painter (haha). I'm so glad you are enjoying the videos; they are so much fun to make!!

That's a great idea, Jo - glass or plastic? Hmm...I once tried a turkey baster but it didn't work! ;)

@@PamelaCaughey I just use the plastic ones that are about 6" long. They actually hold quite a bit of paint (but are best when working smaller). They do make a glass "turkey baster" that does work well. A student in one of my workshops gave it to me so I don't know where she got it. Probably Amazon!

Hi Maureen - does yours have the metal blade inside? I didn't know it had that inside until ours melted in the fire. I found it in the ashes and that's how I discovered it. I like the flexible edge but firmer body of the tool. Thanks for sharing this! :)

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.
