Hello, my friend! Welcome to class.
In this class, we will be taking a deep dive into the world of oil paint and cold wax. I got so inspired by the pieces I created in the Junk Art Collage class that I wanted to get back to painting some Oil & Coldwax pieces, in new color palettes, with the intent to cut them up for some reimagined art.
I think you'll find that creating in this way helps you take the stress out of painting. If you start out, right up front, knowing you intend to cut the pieces up, you don't have to stress and worry about getting things just right or messing up. It is so freeing and enjoyable to paint in this way and I'll bet you'll end up with some amazing pieces you love and don't want to cut up... along with some fantastic pieces to reimagine, just like I did. I created some of my best pieces in this class.
I'll be showing you the supplies I use, and a variety of projects to get you inspired. Using oil paint mixed in with cold wax has been one of my favorite techniques for several years now. I love how thick and creamy the paint mixture is, I love that it is a matte finish and that it dries much faster than typical oil paint. It is a yummy mixture that spreads on like frosting and lets you get creative with the tools you use to apply it.
This class is for you if:
You love learning new techniques for your art
You are interested in abstract painting in oil & coldwax
You love experimenting with art supplies
You love watching how others approach their painting practice
Supplies: I encourage you to use some of your favorite colors to do these projects. Get outside your comfort zone and experiment with colors. You don't need a lot of colors to start out with and if you enjoy color mixing - then you might just get a starter kit of colors and mix your own. I'm using a variety of colors and brands in class. I'd recommend you choose brands you can afford and some colors you like.
