Please watch the adjacent video for a bit more information about the workshop on experimenting in abstraction in oils.
Briefly, you will be able to learn more about palette knife techniques, try cold wax painting, try crackle paste as a base coat, learn about colour mixing/combining, and embedding or applying materials. To book and check availability click here
The Making of the Yellow field paintings
An insight into the makings of the cold wax yellow field paintings. First some middle of the field sketching in watercolour and a few photographs. Next back in the studio, I mix up the Michael Harding paint with 50:50 cold wax (from Zest) all in advance and start applying lumps with palette knives. Next I use the silicon wedges to mix, flow and create the large areas.
