Explore this beautiful medium which feels like painting with frosting. Cold wax medium
allows the artist to apply multiple layers,
texture, add and subtract—like archaeology in painting. Whether you paint realism or abstract this medium will enhance your personal voice as an artist. You will receive a book covering everything learned in class for future reference. Expect to work on as
many as 6 paintings during this workshop

Outdoor urban sketching doesn‘t always allow for leisurely drawing. Often we have to capture the scene before conditions change.
The goals in this class will be to learn to do more with less. Learn quick gestural sketching—how to make spontaneous sketches that feel finished and interesting, decision making—what to draw and what to leave out, what tools to use, and how to maximize every stroke. We will look at common scenarios that could leave you
overwhelmed and learn how to organize the visual information. If you are prone to get lost in details, struggle with what to include and what to leave out, and don‘t have a lot of time at your disposal this workshop is for you!
