Going Deeper: A Cold Wax Workshop for Advanced Abstract Painters
This workshop explores ways to bring contrast and personal meaning to your abstract work. The focus will be on working with intention and purpose, and on exploring ideas related to duality and contrast. The course will include a balance of directed activity and independent working time, and at least one field trip to experience the nearby wild coastline and ancient sites of County Mayo. Along with some specific exercises, there will be presentations about abstraction and other relevant topics plus individual meetings to talk about your work as a whole. You will work on both quick studies and more developed pieces. The goal is that you will leave with new ideas and a better understanding of what you want your work to convey.
Because of this focus, you need to have prior experience with the techniques of cold wax and oils to register for the class. While the first day will include some technique review, the expectation is that you will have enough experience and skill to work confidently with basic techniques as you explore new ideas and ways of expressing yourself.
Your experience may include a prior workshop (followed by independent work), self-study with Rebecca's book, Cold Wax Medium: Techniques, Concepts & Conversations, with the video, Cold Wax Medium Workshop or membership for at least two quarters in the online learning program, Cold Wax Academy in which you have been actively engaged in the prompts and exercises included. Please visit www.coldwaxacademy for more information about these learning tools. If you have any doubt about being qualified for this advanced-level workshop, please submit 5-6 images of your work to Rebecca for review.
The Workshop takes place from the 3rd - 11th May 2022. The cost is $2,000 for the Workshop which includes tuition, shared cottage with private bedroom for 8 nights, lunch/dinner/dessert/tea/coffee, collection/dropoff to the bus/train stations in Ballina, full use of the Dolan/Maxwell Library and facilities 24/7. Participants arrive on the 3rd and depart on the 11th. (The workshop is for seven days with arrival and departure day making it nine days total). Payment is made to Ballinglen: USA/Ireland using the payment button on the website www.ballinglenworkshops.com.
Since earning her MFA in painting from Arizona State University in 1985, Rebecca Crowell has led a life focused on art and works almost daily in her studio in northern New Mexico. She draws significant influence from numerous artist residencies and travels abroad as well as from her surroundings at home. She is widely considered to be a pioneer in the use of cold wax medium for abstract painting. She has been teaching her original techniques in workshops across the US and internationally since 2009 and is co-author of the comprehensive book, Cold Wax Medium: Techniques, Concepts, & Conversations. She currently conducts an online teaching program, Cold Wax Academy with her partner, Jerry McLaughlin,
Rebecca brings professionalism, years of teaching experience, and a working artist’s perspective to her classes. She is represented by a number of fine art galleries in various locations including Dublin, Ireland; Santa Fe, New Mexico; Telluride, Colorado; Atlanta, Georgia, and in the Bay Area of California, and her work is included in hundreds of private, public, and corporate collections in the US and internationally.
