In this 3-week class, a follow-up to the popular Intro to Cold Wax course, Layer By Layer: Cold Wax Mixed Media will teach you how to create mixed media paintings using cold wax—it’s the bee's knees!
In this class, you’ll experiment with making paint layers of velvety colours and transparent glazes, and carve, scrape, push, and pull the medium to create cool effects. You’ll practice adding and removing wax from layers and learn impasto, reduction, and sgraffito techniques.
