Painting with Knives I, II, III: Cold wax and oil paint June 11, 2011

Working from direct observation and photographs we will make paintings using oil paints and cold wax medium (a solvent-softened mixture of bees wax and other synthetic waxes.) This thick paste is applied to a wood panel (or canvas) using a selection of palette knives. Through demos and one-on-one instruction we will explore the possibilities of layering and incising to capture and transform our subject matter.
This is an introductory class for some and a refresher and continuation for others. We will discuss composition, color, and working individually will encourage participants to take the next step in their painting.
