Artists from beginners to advanced levels find artistic freedom using the expressive medium of cold wax and oil. The application of cold wax lends greater depth, layering and language to painting surfaces and is appropriate for abstract and representational painting. In this two-day class, we will use 12″x16″ Arches Oil Paper on day one, and gessoed multi-media boards on day two. Artists of all levels are invited to free up your artistic expression in this fun class which encourages us to paint and experiment without inhibition!
Lori will provide all paint, wax medium, multi-media supplies, tools, gessoed paint panels and reference materials. There is a $40 materials fee payable directly to the instructor on the first day. Students may bring additional supplies if they wish. Click on the Materials List tab above for more complete information.
After the introduction and demonstration, students will have plenty of time to explore and paint! On day-two we will come back to our work with fresh perspectives to edit work and create new work on multi-media panels. We will explore the addition of multi-media applications to our work. An understanding of design and color mixing is helpful and creative problem solving is encouraged. This dynamic class is limited to 12 students to allow for one-on-one attention. At the end of the class, students are encouraged to share with the class their experiences while creating their pieces.
