If you love the luminosity and overall effects of oil paint and cold wax but are leery of using oil-based mediums and paints, this class is for you!

 I have been painting with oil and cold wax for over six years. I was a member of Jerry McLaughlin and Rebecca Crowell’s Cold Wax Academy for three years and during that time, I learned a bunch about creating with oil and cold wax. Always open to exploring other mediums, though, I was curious about using acrylic paint with wax so I gave it a try and I found that, although the response of the materials is different, I could achieve basically the same effects with acrylic paint and wax as I could with oils. Brilliant!

 This class is designed for both beginners and experienced artists. We will be using various materials to achieve textured layers, luminous effects,  and interesting surfaces. We will spend the morning working on 300# watercolor paper, experimenting with materials, tools, and layering, and then in the afternoon, we will create a painting on a cradled wood panel. The possibilities are limited only by your imagination, so come along and discover this versatile and exciting way of working with acrylic paint!
