Unlock your creativity in this exciting 1-day workshop! Explore the expressive potential of cold wax painting, experimenting with opaque and transparent colours, using a variety of mark-making techniques and a range of tools—from palette knives and squeegees to brayers and brushes. I will demonstrate my approach to using this versatile medium and offer practical guidance with time for hands-on practice, so you will leave with an understanding of the techniques.
Cold wax transforms how we can use oil paint, with faster drying time and offering the ability to layer more quickly, it invites a more instinctive way of working. Perfect for artists of all levels looking to push boundaries and discover new possibilities!
For the workshop we will be using the landscape as a loose reference but you will be encouraged to put away any photographs or sketches and work intuitively, allowing the process to lead you through a process of experimentation and, if desired, abstraction.
What will be covered:
Using cold wax medium with traditional oil paints
Experimenting with a variety of techniques and mark-making
Creating texture and depth
Using additional materials such as pastel
Using different tools and surfaces.
£125 per place - Price includes refreshments, materials & equipment
