On the Cold Wax Facebook page I recently saw a call out for people to participate in a 6 month project about creating serieses of paintings. I have already been doing this to some extent in my own practice. At the same time they made the pricing policy for memberships more favourable. I signed on for 6 months. This gives me access to 130+ videos demos and and discussions on a wide range of topics to do with cold wax painting. So I am busy working through these and on the project.
In the first 3 months the project involves creating 4 specific ideas and intentions and sticking with them, making 12-16 studies in all. I started off well. Each study has 10 to16 sessions with 3 layers of paint in each. The layers alternate between light/dark, opaque/transparent, warm/cool with texture created at each session. They are built up randomly and compressed regularly. The surface gets messier and messier but then it all seems comes together in the final stages.
My first set is titled Amorphous, has a limited palette focused on turquoise and orange, not colours I use much. Here are the stages in one from the first series 1053.
