I woke up wondering how to use cold wax & acrylic...here you are! Thank you so much for sharing!!
Oh wow...that’s great. See? That’s why I love to share what I am doing here in the studio. Just remember, once the cold wax goes down, no more acrylics, just solvent-based products or other inclusions like shaved pastels, alcohol inks, gold leaf, etc. Thanks for watching...hope you will subscribe. ❤️
I never thought to use alcohol ink with cold wax! THANK YOU! I love this!
it’s a really soft pretty, translucent result. I love it, too.
very informative!
Thanks for watching! ❤️
I love, love, love this technique. Thank you very much for sharing it with us. It looks bea-0cutiful and fun. I loke the other paintings I saw a peak of when you were flipping your pages as well. Stay well !
Thanks!
Excellent process
Thanks for your kind comment. I really appreciate that and thanks for watching. ❤️
Thank you so much
Had no idea that I could mix cold wax with alcohol inks
Also can you do this as a background and once it dries then do an acrylic pour on top. This technique is so fascinating to me
No…once you use cold wax, you can’t put any water based mediums on top of it. It will just resist the paint. You can put acrylic under the cold wax but not on top, even after it dries.
Can you do this on canvas that you have layed down a acrylic paint design as a background
It’s not really recommended to put cold wax on a canvas since the canvas can flex and crack the dried wax. You can, however, put cold wax on top of an acrylic background on a hard surface like a cradled panel, or even on paper that you carefully adhere to a solid surface after the painting dries.
Wow❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
Gorgeous result! Once he cold wax dries, can you work more on top of it with acrylic paint?
No once you put down cold wax and oil you can’t use acrylic again. Just underneath.
The finally result its permanent?
@@CuadritosDeColores yes as long as you don’t spill alcohol on it which will dissolve the ink and acrylic. You can use a spray fixative if you want more protection
HI, did you wait for the gesso to completely dry before starting to add the inks? Thanks :)
Yep always wait for the water based layer to dry completely before adding another layer on top. You don’t want those layers to intermix. Especially since either alcohol ink nor cold wax is water based. Thanks for the comment and for watching ❤️
Where do you purchase your journals or how does one make a blank journal from start to finish
My favorite journal is the large Dylusions. If you go to my Amazon list in the description box on this video, you’ll find a link to it.
Can you give me links to parts 2 and 3?

@@SallyVanNuysMixedMediaArtist …when I click that link I get a list of all your videos. I don’t see any Part 2, etc. for this one. ☹
@@kathyb.9834 I’m so sorry. I can’t find it either!! But, here is another video where I mixed alcohol ink with cold wax to create some small abstracts

Sorry for the misdirection on that 2-part video…maybe I never did part 2?? Ya never know. Thanks for watching!!!❤️
@@SallyVanNuysMixedMediaArtist ...LOL! Darn! I was looking forward to seeing the finished product. Thanks for responding though. 😍
What tool are you drying with please
It’s a heat tool that I got from Amazon. Like this one… amzn.to/3KTe8q4
What is the name of that journal? Thanks
It’s a Dylusions journal. Here it is… amzn.to/3M8fe1w
Great video! But I had my volume up to '100' and still strained to hear. Went to another video on the side panel (forgetting to turn down my volume) and I relived that scene from 'Back to the Future' where the speaker blows him back across the room. Maybe a microphone?? But cool stuff, nonetheless. Thx.
Hi there, and thanks for the comment. I went in and viewed this video…the sound was fine on my iPad and when I casted to my TV, too. Others haven’t seemed to have a sound issue, however, I have had sporadic comments on a couple other videos about low sound on which the sound is ok for me and other viewers. I’m really not sure why this happens. Rest assured, if I did, I would fix it. I appreciate you watching! I would be interested in hearing if you view others of my videos, if you have sound issues on those as well because I use the same mic volume on all of them. Again…thanks for the comment ❤️
I don't know if it's a good idea to mix alcohol with the mineral spirits and resin in the cold wax? Did you research that first for toxicity and chemical reactions?
WARNING:
COLD WAX IS VERY FLAMMABLE!! DO NOT USE HEAT TOOLS ON COLD WAX!!
Thanks for the concern…both products are solvent based so it is safe to mix them. They both contain resin, and cold wax can be mixed safely with mineral spirits. So, there are no problems with mixing. The only thing I dried with the heat tool was the initial acrylic layers, not the wax layer. Thanks for watching!
