Want to make beautiful, textured and glowing abstracts? Dive into the deep end of color and wild marks, using multiple layers of oil paint mixed with cold wax. Cold wax is a versatile medium that creates rich luminosity, interesting surfaces, and speeds up drying time. It is applied with squeegees, putty and palette knives, and it feels like painting with whipped butter. Our emphasis will be on painting vibrant and colorful abstracts using our imaginations. We will experiment with laying down swaths of paint, building texture, scraping away, and then doing it all again. We will work intuitively and energetically on multiple pieces, exploring texture, layers, composition and design, and the use of color. The layers dry quickly, and clean-up is done with odorless mineral spirits or baby oil. You will complete several pieces and have starts for future paintings.
