In this 2-day workshop you will learn to explore and experiment with this expressive combination of materials as you create four new works of art!
You will mix oil paint and cold wax medium as you paint on two canvas panels and two wood panels (a total of four paintings). Brushes, palette knives, scrapers, etc. will be used to create semi-abstract and/or abstract works. Mixed media materials such as stencils, cheesecloth, charcoal, paint sticks, and sand will be available for you to experiment with as you paint. Bring your freedom of expression, spirit of adventure and fun!
Both days of the workshop will start with instruction and a short demonstration. You will have as much individual help as desired.
MATERIALS TO BRING:
Students supply their oil paints, instructor supplies all other materials.
Contact Pickle Street School Studio to register.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Encouraged as an artist from a young age, Diane began painting professionally in her mid-thirties. Since then, she has been juried into over 80 local, regional, and national exhibitions and received awards, along with having paintings published in several art magazines, articles, and books. She teaches painting workshops, and painting/life coaching workshops using her self-published “Composition Handbook for Painter with Life Application.”
Exploring her impressions, moods, and love of the landscape through painting, Diane paints in oils with palette knife. Color, shape and rhythm are the basic elements she uses to explore her love of the natural world, in her impressionistic landscapes and in her more abstracted oil/cold wax/mixed media landscapes. She also paints and teaches privately in her studio in Grand Haven, Michigan.
