Have you seen images of oil and cold wax paintings and wanted to learn how to use this special material?
Going to an in person workshop is more difficult today than ever. There are so few teachers out there who work in this medium, Let me bring my art studio to your home.
What is Cold Wax Medium and why is it different than just oil paints or acrylics?
Cold wax is a sumptuous paste that is added to oil paints to create gorgeous abstract paintings. It is what I use mostly in my own award winning work and I will be showing you how to use it.
It is a totally unique material with unique working properties and a look that is ethereal, translucent, and playful all at the same time
When I first saw paintings made with oil and cold wax many years ago, I fell in love. The rich history, the layers, the luminance just took my breath away. But I couldn't find anyone to teach me how to use it. It is not like you can go to art school to learn these tools. So I travelled throughout the states and also to Europe to seek out teachers, and talented artists using this unique medium- to share their tools with me. Like a story being written, each cold wax and oil painting is like a journey. Step by step we create a rich adventure on the canvas, following unexpected twists and turns. We compose this into a meaningful piece art, and often scrape back to reveal the rich layers below. The process is intuitive and free. The cold wax allows us to experiment and explore in a way that neither pure oil paints or acrylics would ever let us do. Quite frankly- it is an opening to a creative door. And I want to share these tools with you.
SO you don't have to travel the globe like I did to learn these skills- they are right at your fingertips with this course!
Join me on the journey!
We will learn to create layers, add depth and textures, exciting expressions and explore the wonders of cold wax medium.
Creating abstract art is simply fun, and each painting is its own adventure waiting to be shared.
Learn how to make colors come alive!
I will take all the guess work out of color theory and show you exactly how I create the palette for my award winning paintings. "I have taken many art workshops and Lisa is hands down the most engaging and informative teacher. Well worth the price of admission!"
Easy to follow steps to create meaningful compositions
I give you all the tools you need to effectively CREATE. In addition to being an artist, I have masters degrees in both education and counseling, so I know a successful course is so much more than being a great artist. I take pride in how I teach, and how I help you to actually learn these tools!!
Being playful helps the process
Having fun and playing is SO critical in artistic expression! COLD WAX medium when used properly lends itself so perfectly to this playful and intuitive process. I'll show you how!!

"Before taking one of Lisa's classes, I was feeling lost, demoralized a bit actually by living a life that wasn't really true to myself. After? I'm confident, exuberant even in my art making. I am much clearer on what I'm doing art-wise, and I completely see the connections with my art and my life in general. Since taking Lisa's course in 2020, I have been working full time as an artist and making a living making art. In my wildest dreams, this would be my life. Thank you Lisa!!!"

"One of the main things that's so great about Lisa's program is the group dynamic. I didn't realize I'd bond so deeply with the other participants. Lisa is by far the best teacher I have had anywhere- ever. She is so incredibly skilled at making everyone feel comfortable, heard, accepted. She gently opened the door for us to connect in real, vulnerable and meaningful ways in a way that I had- in all my 66 years and schooling- never experienced before. I was able to connect with other artists who are beginners like me, and others who are professionals. I've made life long meaningful friendships, and found my creative voice. Worth every penny and more."
I'll share with you the exact tools that I developed and used over decades of work as an artist, teacher and counselor, to take my own art to the next level.

"I was working with oil paints, timidly moving paint around...I wanted to learn skills and gain confidence. Lisa's course asked me questions I hadn't thought about before that immediately gave me a clear understanding of the process, and my work blossomed in astounding ways. My work feels meaningful to me, which is the biggest gift of all. I know exactly what to do so I don't get so stuck. I'm having so much more success and fun, because I'm not so worried about the outcome."

I'M READYNot all Teachers are Created Equal
"If you are looking for a jumpstart in your creative endeavors , look no further than one of Lisa Mann's classes. She is generous with her comments and advice to help you travel further in your journey without being restrictive. I've taken several classes from her, and as a retired teacher, I can spot a "good one" a mile away and Lisa fits all the criteria..she is knowledgeable and open minded with a full range of resources, she never makes you feel inadequate, even when you do less than stellar work, she always has a kind word of encouragement to all without being condescending. To watch her paint is therapaeutic and inspiring. Can you tell I'm a lifelong fan? I've never met Lisa but I consider her a good friend!"
