Cold Wax Advanced Workshop - FULL: Workshop with Jerry McLaughlin

7 - 15 April 2023 
Open a larger version of the following image in a popup: In order to express yourself successfully as an artist you must have both technical skills and a deep understanding of what you want to say and how you want to say it. It is the melding of all of these that leads to strong, provocative work. In this workshop participants will focus both on technical mastery and individual expression. In addition to reviewing traditional and advanced cold wax techniques, to help participants think more deeply about their work, Jerry will offer special presentations and focused one-on-one consultations. During this workshop artists will be challenged to push deeper into both the “how” of art and the “why."

Approximately 1 month before the workshop begins, participants will be asked to begin to think about the workshop content, specifically CORE and FOCUSED intentions. Jerry will send materials so that you can begin learning even before the workshop starts. Artists are encouraged to bring work in progress and to create new work during the workshop. During the workshop artists will work on a series of 5 to 6 developed paintings and 12-16 smaller ‘quick’ works with focused intentions.

Jerry believes deeply that technical mastery is imperative for successful expression. Therefore, these topics are covered in detail:

  •     color: aspects of color contrast including value, warm/cool, intensity/saturation/chroma, neutral colors; color relationships, luminosity
  •     working thoughtfully with opacity and transparency in your work
  •     complex layering of cold wax
  •     mastering texture and controlling your surface
  •     mastering your brayer, squeegee, and palette knife
  •     overall aspects of contrast in painting: including value, texture, color, shape, scale, and more
