Oil and cold wax masterclass Building on your existing knowledge, the workshop will focus on using advanced techniques such as solvent pours, glazes, blending as well as covering technical aspects relating to tools, surfaces, colour, values, textures, shapes, and composition. Over the four days (Friday 8 November to Monday 11 November inclusive) we will focus on creating a triptych on boards which we will prepare during the workshop. Working intuitively, and allowing our work to evolve, we will experiment with colour mixing using a limited palette, glazes and transparent tints. The workshop will include information about techniques, as well as demonstrations but more importantly there will be time for dedicated and focused painting and individual support. · Using transparent and opaque colours to create depth and atmosphere. · Creating transparent tints and glazes. · Using glazes to harmonise a painting. · Colour mixing, working with a limited palette, and harmonising your palette. · Building rich layers of texture, patterns, marks, and colour to form rich, complex foundations to your paintings. · Solvent reduction techniques and solvent pours. · Masking, stencilling and transfer techniques. · Incorporating pigments and loose powders such as marble dust into your work. · Incorporating pigment sticks and oil bars and other drawing mediums. · Experimenting with embedding materials. · Problem-solving compositions by exploring colour, value, contrast, and shapes. · Preparing surfaces · Working on a triptych: three 30 x 30 cm boards Do I have the experience? This workshop has been designed for people who have previously attended an advanced oil and cold wax workshop and are ready to work on a larger scale (30 x 90 cm). You will be challenged to move away from your go-to colour palette and to experiment with a range of techniques to incorporate into your own practice. If you have not previously attended an advanced oil and cold wax workshop, please contact us in advance before booking so we can make sure this is the right course for you. What shall I bring with me? All materials and use of tools are covered in the price of the workshop. Please bring your own apron or shirt that you don’t mind getting splashed with paint. * Please note that some of the materials used during the workshop are not vegan. This includes the paper used throughout the workshop which unfortunately cannot be substituted for another product. Where is the workshop being held? The workshop is held at the Craft House in Bingley, West Yorkshire which is also where Paula has her studio. Bingley is easy to get to by road, train and plane and we have lots of people who travel from all over the country to attend one of Paula’s workshops. There are lots of places to visit within a short distance from Bingley including the World Heritage site, Saltaire where you can see some original David Hockneys; the beautiful village of Haworth, made famous by the Brontes; and the stunning Yorkshire dales with its three peaks and Malham cove. There’s so much to see and do you’ll want to make a weekend of it! Workshop cancellations There are occasions where workshops do not achieve enough bookings to allow them to viably proceed. In these instances, we will notify you at least 28 days prior to the scheduled workshop. We will either: a) issue a refund or b) with your permission, transfer your booking to a rescheduled date/workshop. The only circumstances under which we would seek to cancel/reschedule your workshop within 28 days' notice would be those outside of our control, for example artist illness. We have many workshop attendees coming to us from across the UK and beyond. Please note that we cannot guarantee that any workshop will proceed, so any travel plans or associated costs are not the responsibility of The Craft House in the instance where a workshop is cancelled or rescheduled. We would advise you consider taking out travel insurance. Information Source: The Craft House | eventbrite
