Explorations in Oil and Cold Wax
Using both additive and subtractive techniques, preplanned color schemes and compositional armatures we’ll explore the possibilities only cold wax medium can bring to oil painting.
Cold wax medium can be used for representational painting as well as abstracts and everything in between. You’ll leave the class with 12-16 starts toward a comprehensive series and a tool box full of new techniques and a plan for self critique to bring the series of fruition.
In this upbeat, three-day workshop the cold wax medium, substrates, and tools will be provided. Bring your favorite mark making tools and favorite professional quality oil paints.
Suitable to beginners although some knowledge of working with oil paint will be very helpful.
We’ll work on various sizes of Arches oil paper for maximum flexibility. Instructor will demo mounting oil paper on wood cradled board for exhibit.
