This workshop is a hands-on introduction to cold & hot wax and
hot wax collage. Part of the first day will be devoted to a demo and hands-on experience with cold wax medium and oil paint. Cold wax medium is a beeswax paste that requires no heating or fusing. Basic materials, tools, surfaces and techniques will be explored. The second part of the day will be an overview in hot wax and a chance to explore multiple techniques including how to melt, mix and apply the wax, create texture and experiment with the use of stencils on a wood panel. The entire second day will focus on a fresh new way to carefully create photo compositions using digital images, distress wax layers, colorants, inks, metal leaf and oil sticks to produce an interesting fine art collage.
