Great to hear about your wonderful time. I use cold wax and oil but have never put acrylic on. I worry it may peel off but you never know until you experiment. ! Annnnnnnd it’s a beautiful area of the country too! Glad you had fun xxx
I had such a nice time with my book group and it was lovely to meet Sophie. Your friend Jaqueline said the same about acrylic peeling off so I think probably that I will use it underneath in future work so it remains archival. Thanks for the tip Clare. Xx
I love cold wax and oils. I'd be careful about applying acrylic over oils - it may seem like the acrylic is holding but with time it will fall off so it's not archival, but you may not be worried about that. It's just fun to experiment, isn't it?
Thank you for letting me know that Jacqueline. I didn’t know that. I think in that case I may try to make the oil paint as fluid as possible so that I can emulate the acrylic mark making once a back drop has been created. I guessed there must be a reason people don’t put water based paint on top of oil 💚

So much inspiration, Mary! Thank you for sharing! Looks like so much fun 🎨♥️
Thank you Juliette - I loved learning about the cold wax technique. I really enjoy learning from other artists 💚

Sounds like a lovely plan.
