Class Description:
Diane begins the class with a demonstration showing how to mix the oil paint with the cold wax, how to move the medium around the paper using non-traditional tools and how to create marks while using stencils, knitting needles, tissue paper and much more.
Through the process of layering and manipulating different oil & cold wax layers, rich abstract paintings are created, filled with vibrant color and visual texture. Each artists has the opportunity to create several paintings done on 140 lb watercolor paper while in this workshop.

Artist Statement:
My work is inspired by the natural and organic formations, surface patterns and textures found all around us. I create my abstract paintings while combining oil paint with cold wax. The process of painting is my focus, not trying to make a specific statement, so I often begin in one place and end up in another with no idea of how I got there or how to “do it again”.
