Introduction to Oil and Cold Wax Art Workshop

'Introduction to Oil and Cold Wax' is a 1 day workshop taking place on Sat 31st May, 10am-4pm at Cropthorne Village Hall, Cropthorne, Nr Pershore Worcestershire (WR10 3LZ).
 
Why use Cold Wax Medium? It's a fantastic medium which creates wonderful and surprising results when mixed with oil paint. It enables you to build up textural effects and layers as it increases transparency and workability and gives you great freedom of expression and potential for new discoveries!
 
 
This workshop will teach you how to mix the cold wax with oil paint to get the best results. How to organise your palette and premix your colours. What tools to use to apply the paint (and take it off!), tools and techniques for adding texture and interest. I'll also cover the main types of composition in landscape and seascape paintings, as we will be working from our imaginations in a semi-abstract fashion. Using a limited palette to begin with we will play with applying the paint quickly, using different tools and techniques on wet paint to create abstract backgrounds on which to work on later.  You will work on several paintings at the same time using restricted time to create your masterpieces so as not to overwork them, keeping them fresh and full of dynamism. We will also cover using oil and cold wax over an acrylic underpainting.
 
There will be handouts to take away and materials will be available.
 
Coffee and tea and biscuits provided throughout the day, please bring your own lunch.
 
Maximum of 10 people. Participants must be 18+
 
Cost of 1 day course £75.
