Color, Cold Wax and Block Prints
A summer painting course

July 24-28 or July 31- August 4

Often, we learn life lessons by working artistically. By experiencing a gesture out in the world, I see my gesture more clearly. Cold wax is a layered medium that often reveals what language the previous layers have spoken. Finding the assistance of those previous layers is exciting and often supportive. 

In this workshop we will at first create block prints and then unite them into the cold wax and color. Layering over them, we may lose them, only to find them revealed later.

The technique is supportive and forgiving, very messy but not smelly.

4 days of color

March 20-23, 2023

In this course we will experience color using various media including watercolor and oil/cold wax. Cold wax is a medium that is easy to use, you will get rich nuanced colors and textures and be continually surprised by this layering technique. All supplies are included. No experience is needed, the techniques are inspiring and forgiving.

Cost: Sliding scale $0-400

Each day we will start at 9:15 am and work together until lunch time - 12:45.

After lunch there will be studio time to work on the exercises that were introduced in the morning. This schedule allows for individual working styles, you can take a long or short lunch, work into the evening or whatever works for you. I will be there in the afternoon until around 5 pm.
