Small Cold Wax Abstract painting by Rachael McCampbell, “Secrets Revealed, 12 x 12” oil on panel © 2019

TWO SPOTS LEFT AS OF JULY 24, 2020!

Join me for a fabulous 4-day workshop on a beautiful farm in Columbia, TN about an hour from the Nashville airport. I will be teaching Cold Wax Medium in both an abstract and representational way.

Painting with Gamblin’s Cold Wax Medium is becoming a very popular method with artists all over the world. In the process of painting with Cold Wax, you can build layers of paint on paper or panels, add textures, use printmaking techniques, add mark making with charcoal, pencils wax pencils, incorporate powdered pigments, R & F paint sticks, oil paints, draw with paint sticks or use solvent for reductive techniques along with scratching and digging techniques when the wax is dryer. You can even use these materials on top of acrylic bases and textures.

This class is for beginners or intermediate level artists who want to learn about the many amazing things you can do with Gamblin’s Cold Wax Medium and oil. This process of painting lends itself to abstraction or representational art.

Material list: Materials for students to bring will be supplied upon registration.

I will provide some supplies: marble dust, tissue paper, pigments to share, paper towels, wax paper, palette paper, gloves, garbage bags and some oil paints, coffee and water.

NOTE: there will be precautions taken to keep everyone safe in this class…masks and social distancing…more details to follow.

Fee: $550 per person, paid by check before first day of class $100 non-refundable deposit required. I take checks, Venmo and Square with an additional 5% fee.
