Jane Powell Oil and Cold Wax Workshop November 16th 10am-4pm

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. We will work with a limited palette to begin with and play with applying the paint quickly, using different tools and techniques on wet paint. Using restricted time to create paintings so as to not overwork them, keeping them fresh and full of dynamism.
