Curious about how to use cold wax medium with oil paint? Join us on Tues. Oct. 13th, 10AM - 4PM, with exhibiting artist Sandy Kay!About this Event
If you missed our last workshop with Sandy Kay, here’s another chance to experience this amazing way to paint with minimum commitment and maximum fun. There is a limit of 12 participants, so register now to save your seat!
Sandy Kay’s artistic career spans many levels. She has worked as a graphic designer, a theatre set designer, and costume designer, and in multiple mediums. She now paints in Cold Wax and Oil paints, and is excited to share this amazing medium in her workshops. her studio is in Halfmoon Bay BC on the Sunshine Coast.
Sandy’s paintings are informed by her emotional response to the natural world of forest and sea. She strives to create a feeling rather than a picture, to evoke a deeper emotional response in the viewer. In this one-day hands-on class artist Sandy Kay will demonstrate using the tools, how to blend, mix and layer the paints using cold wax medium, and why it’s a most intriguing, joyful (and easy) way to paint!
Sandy will demonstrate in stages while you try this method throughout the day using the same materials and tools. You will leave with your own original fall-themed painting and confidence creating your artwork. This workshop will introduce her latest techniques in tools, glazing, solvent reduction, lifework, and working in a limited palette, and is for painters of all levels, from beginners to advanced.
