Workshop: Dripped Wax Resist with Watercolor

Instructor: Nan Rumpf

Registration opens February 26, 6 pm

Explore the exciting possibilities of combining melted beeswax with watercolor. We will drip and draw gestural lines with melted beeswax. Then we will develop our artwork with watercolor glazes. The wax dries quickly to offer a graceful resist for your watercolors, combining an important textural and line element with a fluid medium. This is an enjoyable experimental way to spice up your watercolors. Demos and handouts will be provided.

*The beeswax, wax melters, and the specialized application tools will be provided by the instructor.

*An additional material list will be provided to registered students.
