Bold & Uninhibited: Abstract Painting in Oil & Cold Wax

August 27-30, 2022

Pacific Northwest Art School

Coupeville

Whidbey Island, WA

Creating abstract art with oil paint and cold wax medium is intuitive, bold, and full of discovery. Your pieces will take on lives of their own through the many layers of oil and cold wax you apply, addition of mixed media elements, and the areas you choose to scrape away.

I’ll show you lots of techniques for adding layers, textures, graphic touches and atmosphere to your work. We’ll do a lot of playful, gestural mark-making to activate the painting and get inspired.

 I encourage you to mix and match techniques in your own way and to develop your own style.

The watchword for this workshop is, “Experiment!” You’ll build up many layers, incise, scribble, scrape back, and texture your work, allowing each piece to tell its own story.
