WORKSHOP DETAILS
An introduction to painting with cold wax medium with contemporary artist Kari Bell.

Cold wax painting is a technique that combines cold wax medium with oils to create textured, layered artworks with a unique matte finish.

Utilizing oils and cold wax, Kari creates space for spontaneous happenings within the paint itself; the waxy surface can be scratched, gouged, patterned, pressed, and stained layer after layer.

This invites the viewer to take a deeper look.
