Stacy Phillips: Building Layers with Oil & Cold Wax
OCTOBER 10 - 13, 2024
Artists in this 4-day workshop will explore the basics of the mixed media of Oil and Cold wax, powdered pigments, and other materials. We will create abstract layers through textures, lines and colored fields that we can then mine through developing our own personal palimpsest of the history of our own mark making. This rich medium helps generate a space for the artist to create intentional layers and discover the unintentional layers that can be interpreted to abstraction or realism. In these four days we will cover information about technique, conversation on concept and composition, along with plenty of time to work.
While some painting experience is preferred, the workshop is open to all levels. Students will create multiple works on paper and wood panels.
SCHEDULE
We will meet Thursday through Sunday from 10:00 am -4:30 PM. Thursday through Saturday will be demonstrations, conversation, and plenty of time to work. Sunday will be a full day to work with one-on-one conversations and critiques. We will leave space for the class to develop according to the needs of the class participants.
