Marina Teding van Berkhout
Cold Wax Artist & Instructor
I'm Marina, and I've been exploring cold wax painting for over a decade. My journey with this medium has been transformative—it opened up a whole new world of texture, depth, and creative expression that I never knew was possible. I created this course because I remember how overwhelming it felt when I first started. There was so much conflicting information, and I made every mistake you can imagine! Through years of experimentation, teaching workshops, and connecting with thousands of students worldwide, I've refined these techniques into a clear, step-by-step system. My teaching philosophy is simple: give you permission to play, experiment, and find your own voice. Cold wax is forgiving and versatile—perfect for both beginners and experienced painters looking to add new dimensions to their work. When I'm not painting or teaching, you'll find me in my studio in France, probably covered in paint and experimenting with new techniques to share with students like you!
