In this three-session workshop, students will explore abstract painting using oil paint combined with cold wax medium. This versatile approach allows for rich texture, layered surfaces, and a balance between control and spontaneity.
Through guided exercises and individual exploration, participants will learn how to build, scrape, and rework surfaces to create depth, movement, and cohesion. Emphasis will be placed on composition, value, and developing a personal visual language.
All materials are provided. Open to all levels.
What You’ll Learn
How to mix and apply cold wax medium with oil paint
Techniques for layering, scraping, and mark-making
Building depth and luminosity in abstract work
Understanding composition through shape, value, and contrast
Strategies for editing and resolving a painting
