Demystify the fascinating process of cold wax painting to create uniquely luminous multilayered works. Cold wax painting blends 50% cold wax medium and 50% oil colors, and does not require heat to use. Like encaustic painting, its materiality lends itself to unique mark-making and layering techniques.
The tuition for this class includes a materials fee of $15.
