Do you love texture? Seeing the history and geography of underlayers peeking through? Are you intrigued by cold wax as an oil paint medium? We will learn and practice some basic cold wax medium techniques on OIL paper and then use them to create a fun finished abstract imaginary landscape.

No experience is required or expected. CWM involves play and exploration. On DAY 1, we will practice basic tool-handling using a brayer and squeegee for wet-in-wet paint techniques. On DAY 2 we will explore going further on semi-dry underlayers. We will play with additive methods including wet & dry transfer printing, stencils and masking, veils of transparent or opaque color; and also with subtractive techniques like scratching, scraping, and impressing textures. As we build layers, we will talk about contrasting warm/cool, transparent/opaque, smooth/textured; about tool choice; and about safe and more sustainable studio practices. 

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

Maximum of 4 students. Two 3-hour sessions.
