What students are saying

“I fell in love with the process of using cold wax in my oil painting because of Marina’s class! The videos made me feel as if I was right there, in Marina’s beautiful studio, while she patiently taught me step by step. Her love of the creative process shines and spills over onto her students. By the end of the series, I knew I wanted to push my limits and see how far I could go by experimenting with cold wax in my paintings. I felt she gave us all the freedom to use this medium in various ways and gave lots of examples along the way to help us see just what cold wax can do. I became so interested, I asked for “the” book on cold wax painting and am reading it cover to cover. Thanks, Marina! ”

“What a wonderful class! I loved watching the videos where Marina clearly describes her step by step process, making textures with fun texture tools and adding all sorts of marks with new drawing tools. Since I usually work in acrylics, one thing I learned during this course is Patience! The layers need to dry in between, so I worked on several paintings on the same time which is a new way of working for me. Marina encourages you to play and experiment, find your own style and enjoy the process. Will certainly do more of her future classes! ”

“If you are interested in working with Cold Wax Medium, or just want to hone your skills, Marina’s class “Beyond the Layers” is a must! Her videos are straight forward, easy to follow and full of techniques, tips and encouragement. She shares her skills in a way that allows you to create your very OWN work of art! ”

“Beyond The Layers is a wonderful course! It really helped me up my texture game! It’s full of helpful information and I enjoyed seeing what additional tools and supplies Marina used for her mark making. I’m hooked on cold wax and oil! Thank you! ”

“I thoroughly enjoy Marina’s style of teaching. She is down to earth and relatable. Her lessons are taught in such a way, that you create your OWN work of art; and not a copy of what she is creating. She makes herself available for questions, advice and encouragement. Not only did I learn new tips and techniques; I also gained inspiration and confidence with oils and cold wax medium. I have sold MANY of the pieces I created since taking her course...and several I’m so in love with....they hang in my home...I will not be able to part with them! Thank you Marina for sharing your love of CWM and Oils! ”

“Fantastic online video lessons to learn oil and wax painting (very simple process) for beginners and advanced. Artist @marinatvb_art Marina is wonderful and very approachable to ask for advice. the videos are in English but subtitled in French (Everything is very well explained). I myself learned the technique which she teaches us step by step. The Artist lives in the South of France and therefore speaks fluent French. Take advantage of his know-how as I did. Believe me: you won't regret it. 🙌👏👌 ”
