Drawing and Painting

Students will learn how to use cold wax and oil as a malleable medium to create texture in painting and multimedia applications. The class is a fun, freeing exploration of this rich medium, employing techniques and playful expression on oil paper. The instructor will cover the properties and demonstrate application of cold wax and oil and then students will paint, paint, paint!  The class is limited to 10 participants to allow for individual attention.  Be prepared to get messy and have fun!  Apron or old clothes are desirable.  All supplies are provided.  A supply fee of $20 is due to the instructor at the beginning of class. All skill levels are welcome.

Learning the art of color mixing can transform your art!

Chart templates will be provided and you will work on completing them in class.
