Marina Teding van Berkhout
Cold Wax Artist & Instructor
I'm Marina, a Dutch professional artist living in the South of France. I love blending figurative work with expressive texture. After years of working with traditional cold wax and oils, I discovered Powerwax and was thrilled to bring these techniques to acrylic painters. This mini-class was originally created for the Make Create Express 2021 mixed media program, and I'm excited to share it with you. My teaching philosophy is simple: experiment, explore, and enjoy the process!
