Oil & Wax Painting Workshops in Hampshire

Learn the expressive art of cold oil and wax painting with one of our classes or workshops.

EXPLORE THE ART OF OIL AND WAX PAINTING

Discover the expressive world of oil and wax painting. This unique technique involves blending pigments and oils, which are then applied in layers to a surface, creating rich, layered, and luminous artworks.

 

The wax can be reworked using different tools, allowing artists to build, scrape back and reshape the image over time. The result is a textured surface with incredible depth and movement. It's both intuitive and experimental, allowing you to create unique pieces full of depth, texture and spontaneous mark-making.
