No prior experience required — just a desire to express yourself freely through the medium.
The number of participants is limited to 10!
This is your chance to discover, through an intuitive and sensory approach, the unique properties of cold wax, the layering of textures, the play of materials, and the exploration of gesture. Come create a personal piece by experimenting with textures, horizons, and depth.
What to expect:
- Welcome and introduction
- Introduction to oil and cold wax painting
- Preparing surfaces and mixing materials, followed by individual selection of colours, textures, and tools
- Applying the first layers and introduction to concepts of drying time, opacity, and transparency
- Guided experimentation: textures, lines, layering; exploration of tools and working in successive layers
- Deepening and final touches: review of works in progress, technical input, and final additions
- Group discussion and sharing: everyone leaves with their own personal artwork, ready for a new creative journey.
