I am a mixed-media artist living in Aurora, Colorado. When I began my art career over 25 years ago, I worked in a realistic style in watercolor and oils. Eventually, my work evolved into a more abstract style and led to my work with textures, collages, and fluid acrylic paints. I am a certified Art Educator with Golden Paints. I have taught thousands of artists in workshops around the United States for over 20 years. To expand learning opportunities for students to learn my techniques, I established Carol Nelson Mixed Media Art School at Teachable.com, where students can purchase my online video workshops, some of which are paid, and others are free.

"CHALK CLIFF" by Colorado Mixed Media Artist Carol Nelson
With this geologic abstract, I was trying for a more subtle palette, with less saturated colors.
It is painted on watercolor paper, then mounted on a cradled wood panel.

"Garden Window" by Carol Nelson

This is another in my experiments in oil and cold wax. I lay out my palette colors and add the wax medium to each pile. These colors are layered on using an old credit card or palette knife. Some of the texture is a textured piece of paper that is then painted over with the oil/wax mixture. There's also a little gauze, central in the background. Also visible in the upper right quadrant is some text from a paperback book. Finishing texture on the brightly colored areas is oil paint applied with a palette knife. The sides are black and white checkerboard pattern that is painted black, then gently lifted revealing some of the pattern.

This is a mixed media oil and cold wax collage. Going back to my favorite warm, vibrant palette. It arrives ready to hang.

Workshop opportunities

I love sharing my knowledge of painting and creating. Over the years, I have taught thousands of students the basic principles of abstract mixed media work, as well as the methods and techniques I use in my work.

I offer both large workshops at various venues across the country, and small group (maximum of 6) workshops in my Colorado studio. See my website for the latest in my workshop schedule: https://www.carolnelsonfineart.com/workshops
