Product Description

This oil and cold wax workshop is ideal for artists want to learn the basic techniques of this medium . It is also for artists who have used it before, and now want to learn more about this exciting medium. Artists will gain knowledge and understanding of the chemistry, and what sort of textures can be achieved.

This workshop is an opportunity to explore the possibilities of oil paint and cold wax to create textured visceral paintings.

This workshop will cover the varied structural possibilities of cold wax.  You will learn ways of working including layering, excavating, addition of dry pigment and glazing. Through a series of step by step exercises that help build a platform of skills, you will then learn how to  translate them into paintings with greater depth.

Anyone interested in painting with oil paint and cold wax will find this course useful. It is not suitable for acrylic or any other water based medium. All levels are welcome on this course, experienced or beginner and Nicki has videos on You Tube if you would like to have a preview of her working methods.

What people say about Nicki Heenan’s Oil and Cold Wax Workshop

“I recently completed an advanced ‘Oil and Cold Wax Workshop’ with Nicki Heenan. I was impressed, as a teacher myself, with the individual advanced preparation Nicki had taken time to organise for each student. She had brought books and photocopies of artworks that were pertinent to each of us and had obviously thought about our needs, as students, prior to the course. Nicki was a generous and inspirational teacher. She guided us through new processes and was encouraging and supportive at each stage. Nicki was also ‘down to earth’ and we managed to learn a great deal, at the same time having fun in a relaxed environment. I can thoroughly recommend Nicki’s courses to anyone thinking about taking one. My advice would be do it!”
