About the Workshop: Explore the rich textures and layering possibilities of oil and cold wax in this hands on workshop. You’ll learn to work with a variety of tools and materials—cold wax medium, oil paint, pigments, pan pastels, scrapers, stencils, and more—on surfaces like Arches oil paper, wood panels, and encaustic boards. We’ll cover the value spectrum and begin with a grid-based exercise using three harmonious values (dark, light, and transparent). Then you’ll create two more pieces: one in your own color palette and one in black and white. Play with organic vs. geometric shapes, abstract vs. structured compositions, and discover how to build intuitive, layered artwork with depth and meaning. Artists of all levels are welcome— no prior experience with oil and cold wax is necessary. Come ready to explore, experiment, and unlock your creative voice in a supportive environment.
*All supplies and materials included. Please bring an apron.
