Do you love texture? Seeing the history and geography of underlayers peeking through? Are you intrigued by cold wax as an oil paint medium? The goal of this intensive 9-hour hands-on workshop is to dive into the world of cold wax medium without expectations, focusing on the tools and techniques without pressure to create a masterpiece.

On day 1, we will practice basic tool-handling and create under layers. On days 2 and 3, we will begin to explore creating texture and layering techniques on semi-dry underlayers as the wax begins to dry and set up a little. We will play with additive methods including pigment sticks, wet & dry transfer printing, stencils and masking, veils of transparent or opaque color; and also with subtractive techniques like scratching, scraping, and solvent reduction.

Throughout the workshop, we will talk about contrasting warm/cool, transparent/opaque, smooth/textured on individual layers, about building composition, and about safe and more sustainable studio practices.

No experience is required or expected (but returning students are also welcomed).
