Cold Wax Medium and Oil - The Language of Texture

Cold wax is a seductive medium that offers sumptous colors and texture. Oil paint is alive with it's own life force, or "chi". Combined with cold wax medium, oils take on a velvety, flat translucency. Cold away, the Language of Texture, is geared for the beginner to intermediate artist wanting to practice technique, and experience working with oil and cold wax. We meet for 2 days, (giving time for the paint to set up between meetings) so that we can continue with the same pieces. Cold wax takes patience. We will not be working with brushes. Instead we add color with scrapers (I like the messemeister silicone bowl scrapers available on Amazon.com). Bring soft brayers, small palette knives, oil paints (at least red, yellow blue, black and white), objects to create texture-such as chains, sticks, stencils, dish scrubbers etc. I will provide cold wax medium, gamsol, tissue paper, wax paper and objects to use for texture.
