For this two-part demonstration, I will highlight my process of painting abstractly with oil and cold wax medium on a gallery wrapped canvas. The second part of my demo will be to show my process for painting abstractly on a silk panel using Red Label Jacquard dyes. Kathryn Gastelum is an Abstract painter based in Tucson, Arizona, whose oil and cold wax paintings are inspired by music, defining moments and the magnificent versicolored sunsets. Her paintings exude a calm energy of rhythmic compositions on canvas.
