About The Course:
The course that so many of you have asked for!
Learn how to work with cold wax medium and how I create my figurative oil* and cold wax paintings. I walk you through my favorite cold wax techniques and show you exactly how I work with the medium to create figurative work. Even though I work with the human form, these concepts could apply to any type of “Figurism” including animals, still lives, and even landscapes. At the end of the course you will have a solid foundation in cold wax techniques and plenty of new ideas to keep you busy for months to come.

This course uses oil paint and cold wax. I do not work with acrylics. In general, cold wax does not work with acrylics as oil and water don’t mix. HOWEVER, there is a relatively new product on the market called Ceracolors. It is water based wax paint that can be used with their cold wax products. I do not use this product and I am not familiar with it. I am simply aware of it. If you are an acrylic painter and would like to try it, feel free, but I cannot answer any technical questions and cannot guarantee that the techniques I use will transfer to this product.
All material is pre-recorded so that you may watch when you wish. Videos, demos, slideshows, links, and lots of rich content will keep you busy.
