Cold wax painting is a really fun process! While it is possible to add cold wax like any other medium, the project would lose the benefit of multiple layered effects as a result of construction, deconstruction and mark making. The beginning of a painting can be described as “play” and it is a lot of fun to use tools and move paint around in new and interesting ways. Every new painting brings exciting and unexpected results.
Students will create up to five pieces all of their choosing, representational or abstract.
Like all painting, consideration must be given to all the art elements to create a good design. This workshop will look at how using a new medium, new tools and new thinking can bring a whole new approach to how we think about our work, whether it is abstract or representational.

Barbara Mulleneaux
Barbara’s works are very expressive with color and texture. Her subjects are most often landscapes but she loves painting the charm of the old Tucson barrios and an occasional still life. “I want to capture light and express my feeling about the subject. Hopefully the viewer will feel as if they are there with me during the experience.” Barbara teaches classes and workshops in acrylic and oil mediums. She enjoys participating in Plein Air competitions and art shows regionally and nationally.
