NEXT WORKSHOP:

TUES NOV 19 11AM-1PM

This is an in person workshop.

In this Beginner Level workshop, you’ll learn how to paint with hot pigmented wax. You’ll pick up some tips around colour, composition, and style from an experienced painter and teacher.

No previous art experience required.

You will learn how to carve into the wax to create patterns, and how to add colour and details with oil pastels. You will learn how to build up texture in various ways. You can embed images or items (coins, beads, etc) into the medium to create interest.  You may collage words, maps, photos, sheet music, into your work. Feel free to bring any such images or 3D elements so you can experiment. I will also have many paper elements you can use to collage, including maps, books, images of flowers and animals, etc.

All materials supplied: panel, gloves, scissors, heat tools,  pastels. You can have a lot of fun working with this ancient medium, to create your own art piece.  Please bring your own apron.
