<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Creating
abstract art with oil paint and cold wax medium involves taking a journey into
yourself and your world -without a map. The process is intuitive, bold and full
of discovery. Your pieces will take on lives of their own through the many
layers of oil and cold wax you apply, addition of mixed media elements, and the
areas you choose to scrape away.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(48, 48, 48) !important; line-height: 20.7pt; margin: 0in 0in 21pt; text-align: start;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">There
are many opportunities for happy accidents and unexpected joys. Each oil and
cold wax piece is a result of a moment in time and space where elements
converge in a one-time- only way.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(48, 48, 48) !important; line-height: 20.7pt; margin: 0in 0in 21pt; text-align: start;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I’ll
show you lots of techniques for adding layers, textures, graphic touches and
atmosphere to your work. I let you in on the qualities unique to oil and cold
wax. I encourage you to mix and match techniques in your own way and to develop
your own style.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(48, 48, 48) !important; line-height: 20.7pt; margin: 0in 0in 21pt; text-align: start;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">You’ll
learn several ways to prepare your wood supports<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>and we’ll also play with Arches oil
paper, which needs no preparation before you dive in with paint and wax. You’ll
learn how to use ordinary household tools to incise and make marks, how to
scrape back for a dramatic look, and how to unify your compositions. You’ll
learn how adding personal marks with oil bars and oil pastels enhances your
pieces.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">We’ll
also cover adding collage, sand, plaster, marble dust, and collage elements to
your pieces. You’ll learn how to use solvents to add unusual and unexpected
effects. We’ll explore the creative process and ways to get your creativity
flowing. You’ll be able to take inspiration photos on our visits to nearby
towns and translate them into abstract works that evoke all that you experience
on this Italian adventure.</span><span style="font-size: 13pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #990000; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; text-align: left;">I have about four spots left open in my wax workshops at <a href="http://www.artandsoulretreat.com/" target="_blank">Art and Soul Retrea</a>t in Minneapolis. Whether you like your wax hot (encaustic), or cold (oil and cold wax medium) you can have a great time experimenting week after next at Art and Soul. </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #990000; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; text-align: left;">Here's the description for my cold wax class, </span></span></div>

<span style="color: #990000; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Discover the translucent beauty of painting with oil and cold wax medium! You’ll experiment with free and bold abstract landscapes with this delicious medium and Arches oil paper. You can paint right onto the paper, so no need to gesso. Unlike with hot wax, you need no appliances to achieve maximum cold wax goodness. You can add and scrape off layers as you want to, so no need to be concerned about mistakes!</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding-top: 0px;">
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">You’ll work on several pieces at once, using tools such as squeegees, bamboo skewers, rubber jar openers, combs, and more. In addition to painting, we’ll explore incising, using paint sticks, painting knives, oil pastels, and adding collage elements. Join me in exploring this unusual and interactive medium. You’ll leave with several gorgeous pieces!</span></div>

<span style="color: #990000; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">For those of you who want to learn encaustic skills or add to what you already have, I'll be teaching <a href="http://www.artandsoulretreat.com/retreat-mpls16-3639-workshop.php" target="_blank">"Express Yourself in Encaustic"</a>.</span></div>
<table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: museo-slab, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 21px; width: 100%px;"><tbody style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: inherit;">

<span style="color: #990000; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Encaustic is an ancient art that is enjoying a tremendous renaissance in our time. Encaustic pieces have a luminous glow found in no other medium. Encaustic layers are "dry" almost instantly and yet they can be reworked at any time in the future. Encaustic works wonderfully with a variety of mixed media elements and techniques.</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: inherit;" /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">This is a perfect class for those new to encaustic. You'll learn to make encaustic medium and encaustic paint, use collage and photo transfer with encaustic, add 3-D embellishments, and more. You'll have fun experimenting with the many fascinating effects that you can achieve by creating with encaustic. If you have used encaustic before but would like a refresher or new inspiration, you'll find it in this class.</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: inherit;" /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">You can add and scrape off layers as you go, so no need to be concerned about "mistakes". Come express yourself freely and boldly with encaustic!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I recently invented this class after trying some experiments on my own. I brought many mats with me of varying sizes and openings. Most of them were purchased at second hand art stores. Some I painted with craft paint or Annie Sloan Chalk paint. I challenged (nicely) the students to create a collage the size of the mat opening, rather than create a mat to fit a collage. I had done this on my own with some old mats that I had and found it really fun and educational to create collages in a predetermined size and shape.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The theme of the class was finding inspiration in the look and exuberance of the early 20th century collage makers. The class rose to the challenge and found they found creativity enhanced by the limitations. I brought lots of vintage papers and fabrics and emphasized the use of original rather than commercial materials. We used Ceracolors in addition to collage elements.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">When we ran out of mats for the second collages, (this was a big class) students tended to create their own predetermined spaces for their collages (see above.)</span></div>

<span style="color: #660000; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Not long ago I received a call from a talented painter, Sharon, who wanted to create a series of portraits of friends and family in the style of the Greco-Roman-Egyptian painters of the first century BCE to the third century CE. These paintings were discovered centuries later in the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fayum_mummy_portraits" target="_blank">Fayum</a> area of Egypt.</span><br />
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Most of these paintings were done during the sitters' lifetimes and then after the person died, were affixed to their mummies. The paintings are done in a variety of styles, but all are haunting in their beauty and in the sense we have of seeing into the face of a real person who could be someone we know. One of the chief characteristics of Fayum paintings is the dark, large eyes of the subject.</span><br />
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I had done several Fayum inspired paintings in encaustic, but I wondered if <a href="http://www.ceracolors.com/" target="_blank">Ceracolors</a> wouldn't provide more flexibility in painting. I used a heat tool to fuse and incise in much of the painting to replicate the look of the Fayum paintings. These ancient painters used both encaustic and some form of cold wax. Ceracolors is a water-soluble wax paint which can be used in many ways. </span><br />
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Below is a still life done with Ceracolors and Ceracolors Fluid Medium. Below the apple you'll see some of my other Fayum experiments.</span><br />

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">All the students were experienced painters but had not used cold wax before. They had to learn to let layers dry and not to overwork the pieces in the early stages, which we all tend to do when we're starting out in this medium.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The trick is to work on a lot of pieces at once to let layers dry and also to become looser.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">By the second day, all the artists had loosened up wonderfully and explored a lot of options in color, composition, incising, scraping back, and texturing. Thanks to all of you for a wonderful weekend!</span><br />

<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The women's art group, over which I loosely preside, met again for the first time since June. It was a delight to see old friends and welcome two new members. We had artists working on collage, acrylic painting, mixed media, and oil and cold wax painting. The studio was a beautiful mess. Love it!</span><br />

<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The last class I taught at Art and Soul Retreat in VA Beach was after we'd learned that Hurricane Joaquin was not going to hit us. Therefore we were free to enjoy the exciting storm on Chesapeake Bay that we could see in the wall of windows in our classroom. We were inspired by haiku and also by the excitement nature provided for us to watch.</span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Each student had four flat birch panels to work on with collage, acrylic paint, and re-inkers. Despite this being an evening class, so short, all pitched in and created exciting and unique work. Thank you all for such a great evening!</span><br />

A lot of these pieces use magazine, book, and collage images to suggest wild, imaginary flowers in these whimsical collages.</span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Not only do our local branch libraries provide books, DVDs, computers etc. but our library system offers art classes! I was fortunate to teach a lively group of seven students today. They created an assemblage with a used book, a Frozen Charlotte doll, encaustic medium, encaustic paint, and a wild assortment of embellishments, dried plant matter, teabags, collage papers, and in one case, "Something I found on the floor that I knew would look good in my piece."</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The students were all new to encaustic but took to it with gusto. I am so impressed by these creations which were made in 3 hours. A very fun afternoon for all of us!</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">As some of you know, I started a separate blog in 2013 when my book, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Wabi-Sabi-Art-Workshop-Imperfection-Celebrating-ebook/dp/B00CC3LWIC/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1439169316&sr=1-3&keywords=serena+barton" target="_blank"><u>Wabi-Sabi Art Workshop</u>,</a> came out. This has been a place for readers of the book to ask questions, post comments, and share inspiration with me and each other. Now that my second <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Wabi-Sabi-Painting-Cold-Wax-ebook/dp/B00YFWHGTC/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1439169316&sr=1-1&keywords=serena+barton" target="_blank">book</a> is out, I have re-named this blog to <a href="http://wabisabiartworkshop.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">"Wabi Sabi Inspiration: Cold Wax and More."</a> I encourage readers of both books to post and share, question, and comment. The blog url is still the same, but it has a new name and look.</span></div>

<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Martha Rea Baker is one of my talented guest artists in the book and the first of these I'll feature on this blog.

<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Martha lives in Santa Fe, NM. Here's what she has to say about how living in this inspiring area has enriched her work:</span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">"My move to Santa Fe has influenced my work through texture and light. I am intrigued by the rich history and culture of the area and enjoy developing my paintings and collages with multiple layers. My personal vision is revealed through subtle textures inviting discovery. The process becomes a metaphor for “life”. All of our past experiences, one building upon the other like the layers on the canvas, weave a rich tapestry. My wish is to engage and challenge you, the viewer, to uncover the veiled mysteries."</span><div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #45818e; font-size: large;">I'm fortunate to have one of Martha's Chronos series featured in my new book, Wabi-Sabi Painting with Cold Wax. Here are a few more of her work evoking the passing of time and layers of life. I hope someday to see some of her work in person. I also hope someday to work in this large a format and with something approaching Martha's vision.</span></span></div>

The coast was certainly an inspiration for the above piece done on stone paper. Nice!</span></div>

<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I had so much fun going through the photos I took from "Expressive Abstraction in Oil and Cold Wax", the class I taught a couple of weeks ago in Yachats, OR. This was the third time I've had the pleasure of teaching at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/BLOOM.artscape?fref=ts" target="_blank">Bloom! an artscape</a>, the summer studio of Sandy Mier. I was happy to see familiar faces and meet new ones. </span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I can't believe I haven't written a blog post since April. What's that about? In part it's about being busy, but more, I think, about my tendency to post news on FB instead. I have been thinking about the purpose of art blogs and what I want mine to be as I resume posting.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I do see the blog as a publicity tool, but I want it to be more than that. I'm interested in sharing news about other artists, art tools and methods, art inspirations and ruminations. In today's post I will be sharing some of my work and accomplishments, but also those of another artist I admire. </span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I have recently received my advance copy of my new book from North Light! I'm delighted how my work and the work of my talented contributors looks. The book comes out on August 19 and can be pre-ordered now at <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Wabi-Sabi-Painting-Cold-Wax-ebook/dp/B00YFWHGTC/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1435546084&sr=1-1&keywords=serena+barton" target="_blank">Amazon</a> or The <a href="http://www.northlightshop.com/wabi-sabi-painting-with-cold-wax-paperback" target="_blank">North Light Shop</a>. I'll be profiling my 12 contributors in future posts.</span><br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I had included a resource page in the book, but for some reason it didn't appear in this printing. I've posted the resources on my <a href="http://www.serenabarton.com/" target="_blank">website</a>. On my resource page I give thanks and appreciation to the artist who has generously shared with many her vast knowledge and expertise in the medium of oil and cold wax. This is <a href="http://www.rebeccacrowell.com/" target="_blank">Rebecca Crowell</a>, who is currently co-writing her own <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ColdWaxBook" target="_blank">book</a> on oil and wax. (Hers will be out in 2016, so read mine this year, and hers next year!)</span><br />

"<b><span style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Waxing Literary with Charlotte" was the first class I taught at Artiscape, and the last but not least, that I'm sharing here. I want to share these lovely assemblages before I leave on Sunday for Art and Soul Retreat, just outside of Kansas City. (More on that below.)</span></b></div>

<b><span style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The "Charlotte" class was really fun! All of the Artiscape classes were half day, so students had to jump in and create. This class rose to the challenge and made these great assemblages. Each person brought an unwanted book. We covered the books in encaustic medium and paint, collage, and a wide variety of embellishments. Each student received a genuine Frozen Charlotte doll. I love what they did! </span></b></div>

<span style="color: #7f6000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>This <a href="http://www.europeanpapers.com/" target="_blank">Artiscap</a>e class was so enjoyable. Each student received four 6" x 6" flat wood panels. The class introduced the basic concept of wabi-sabi and of creating "visual haiku" with the media at hand. We used paint, re-inkers, alcohol ink, old book pages, teabags, specialty paper, and whatever else anyone could find. </b></span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>I had so much delight in teaching this class, "Landscape of Memory" to a large group at Artiscape in Dublin Ohio, sponsored by <a href="http://europeanpapers.com/" target="_blank">European Papers </a>and organized by the amazing Lisa Ohmer. The "assignment" in class was to paint abstract landscapes inspired by photographs or the imagination. </b></span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>It isn't always easy to abstract from a photo or from an image in one's mind. You have to think about what the most important elements are, what time of day it is, what mood you want to express. This group did wonderfully and were brave and bold in their experiments. </b></span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>I'm posting a lot of pictures here, but I hope you will take a look at all of them. I'm impressed by the quality of the work and fascinated by all the different ways students used their palette knives, acrylic paint, and mediums to create dreamy landscapes!</b></span><br />

Hope you'll join us if you are in the area for lots of waxy fun!</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 27.625px;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The translucent qualities of the encaustic wax medium and paint create depth, mystery and complexity. Fall in love with the whole ball of wax! You’ll learn to make encaustic medium and encaustic paint, use collage and photo transfer with encaustic, and add 3-D embellishments in this fun and informal class. We’ll incise, add oil paint, specialty papers, and more. Whether you are new to encaustic or an old wax hand, you’ll discover something new while minding your own beeswax! You’ll leave with several painting and/or collages and all the information you need to get started on your own!</span></span><br />
