Cold Wax & Oil Painting Weekend Workshops
Cold Wax & Oil: Level 1
The Level 1 workshop introduces the basics of abstract painting with oil paints and cold wax medium. Through demonstrations and hands-on exploration, students will learn the following aspects of this fascinating process: materials use and sources, basics of composition including design & balance and colour relationships, how to manipulate and layer paint, using texture & mark making to create interest, and ways to include hidden and/or embedded elements.
Students will be given individual attention and will have plenty of working time to complete 8 to 10 small paintings. No previous painting experience is required, only a positive attitude and a desire to learn something new!
Weekend workshops run Saturday & Sunday 9am – 4 pm
Georgian Bay Arts, Owen Sound, Ontario, Canada

Private and group critique sessions are introduced at this level, with emphasis on the artist’s goals and direction. Level 2 classes are exclusively for students who have taken Level 1.
