Experiment and Explore Cold Wax

This session will explain the properties of cold wax and the different mediums you can use with it. Play all day with various mixtures, including oil paint, pigment powder, alcohol ink, stencils, and oil sticks. Explore the fantastic effects, mark-making, glazing, and more with a fun exercise where we create 4 mini abstracts. Experiment with various tools: wedge, spatula, and brayers. We finish the day with a 12 x 12 landscape painting on Cradleboard.
