Discover the exciting possibilities of abstract painting with oils and cold wax as you explore rich texture, layered color, mark-making, and intuitive composition on wood panels. Designed for beginners and intermediate students, this class introduces the tools, materials, and techniques that make this medium so versatile and expressive. Students will learn how to build surfaces, scrape back layers, create depth and movement, and develop abstract pieces that feel both spontaneous and intentional. This is a great class for anyone who loves experimentation, texture, and the freedom of working in a bold, contemporary style.
