LLART 77 - Expressive Mark Making: Faux Oils and Cold Wax

Explore the basics of this expressive mixed media technique that combines Golden OPEN paints and cold wax to create a result similar to encaustic. OPEN Acrylics have an increased working time, which expands their range to include more traditional techniques once only possible with oils. Learn to create layers incorporating textures, lines and colored fields. As you work you'll discover your own personal language of mark making as intentional layers become unintentional abstractions. During this workshop you will create multiple works on paper. While some painting experience is preferred, the workshop is open to all levels. Special fee covers oils, mark making tools and wax medium. Please see the list online for additional items needed for the class. Be sure to bring your curiosity and an open mind!
