Explore the rich and emotive painting possibilities of luminous cold wax with oil color. This expressive process for beginning and experienced painters creates a luscious paint surface for layering and creative imagery. Participants in this workshop will develop skills to use creative tools and techniques, including the buildup of layers, scraping, incising, mixed media and inventive mark-making. Composition, color and contrast will be addressed, along with an exploration of visual elements such as line, shape, pattern, texture, mass, and depth. Develop your own personal expression to create a cold wax painting on wood panel. It is helpful to have basic color mixing and drawing knowledge for this workshop. Instructor: Roberta Tucci.
