About this Event
The beauty and rich quality of a cold wax painting is created with multiple layers that build a history of color, value and texture. In this three-day workshop, Melinda will demonstrate how to create those layers and marks with multiple tools and techniques. Many cold wax artists work with pure abstraction, however this medium can be used to create realist images as well. Whether you are an abstract painter or a representational painter, you will learn the various techniques that can applied to enhance both approaches. Please see Melinda’s website for the supplies you will need for this workshop:
