Concept

In this introductory workshop, explore the possibilities of combining cold wax medium and oil paint. Unlike encaustic, cold wax is used at room temperature to both extend the paint and serve as a medium. Discover new materials and unique tools as you create dynamic paintings filled with visual interest and depth.

Experience

Demonstrations, helpful handouts, and hands-on practice explore traditional design principles, strategies for editing and simplifying compositions, application techniques, mark-making tools, and color. Throughout the week, create multiple paintings on a variety of substrates with an emphasis on experimentation and expression. Fusing technique and intuition, discover how to adapt this medium to your personal style, no matter the subject.
