Discover this exciting, versatile medium and explore the many ways you can incorporate it into your own process.

This introductory class – first in a series – introduces the basics of working with cold wax medium and oil paint, and is a great foundation to build upon to move on to more advanced techniques.

In this class we will cover:

• What Is Cold Wax?

• Substrates & Supports

• Basic Tools & Supplies

• Mixing Cold Wax with Oil Paint

• Applying the Mixture to Substrates

• Mark-making & Adding Layers

• Drying Time

• Clean Up Details

The pieces you start in your class project won't be works of art, but they will be the perfect foundation for moving on to upcoming classes where we'll cover MANY more tools, materials & techniques for working with medium in various stages of drying.

UPCOMING CLASSES include:

- Level 2 - Scratching Beyond the Surface of Working with Cold Wax* - This class builds on the basics by introducing more tools, mark-making techniques and more ways to work with a painting as it dries past the initial wet stage. *I recommend taking "Level 1 - Getting Started with Cold Wax Medium" before taking this class.

- Level 3 - Digging Deeper into Working with Cold Wax* - This class covers ways to introduce other media into your cold wax paintings, such as pigment powders, pigment sticks, pastels, inks, solvents and more. *I recommend taking "Level 1 - Getting Started with Cold Wax Medium" and "Level 2 - Scratching Beyond the Surface of Working with Cold Wax" before taking this class.

- Level 4 - More Ideas for Working with Cold Wax* - This class will cover more ideas for creating textures using different materials, transfer techniques, using stencils and more. *I recommend taking "Level 1 - Getting Started with Cold Wax Medium", "Level 2 - Scratching Beyond the Surface of Working with Cold Wax", and Level 3 - Digging Deeper into Cold Wax before taking this class.
