Oil/ Cold Wax Workshops

Workshop Info:

In this three-session workshop, students will explore abstract painting using oil paint combined with cold wax medium. This versatile approach allows for rich texture, layered surfaces, and a balance between control and spontaneity.

Through guided exercises and individual exploration, participants will learn how to build, scrape, and rework surfaces to create depth, movement, and cohesion. Emphasis will be placed on composition, value, and developing a personal visual language.

• How to mix and apply cold wax medium with oil paint

• Techniques for layering, scraping, and mark-making

• Building depth and luminosity in abstract work
