Cold wax is a unique medium that allows the artist to get very tactile: utilizing layers, thick textures and scraping to create movement, energy and luminous lighting in your paintings.
In this workshop, Linda will demonstrate how to use cold wax to allow underlying layers to effectively come through. Linda will use a tactile approach with the oil and cold wax, allowing the artist to work with palette knife and other implements to pull and scratch the wax to create a novel textured effect. Applied on wood, instead of canvas, the cold wax and oil make for a fun painting process that creates striking paintings.
Adding cold wax to your oils also delivers the added advantage of more cost effectively building thick textures.
This workshop will take place at LucSculpture School & Studio at 663 Greenwood Avenue in Toronto
