The luminous properties of cold wax is the perfect medium for creating light within a two- dimensional surface.  Unlike heated encaustic, cold wax is used without heat and does not need to be fused. You will learn to use a variety of tools to create textures and layers to create depth in your imagery.  This workshop will also focus on issues of color theory and how it pertains to the development of a painting.  Students are encouraged to work on a variety of surfaces, including panel, paper, and canvas mounted to panel. Demonstrations will begin each session, and each participant will receive one on one feedback. This workshop is for beginning to advanced artists who have worked with oil paint. This is also the perfect workshop to get focused feedback on your work.
