An oil and cold wax workshop led by abstract 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.
