Cold Wax Painting Workshop with Fidelma O'Neill

Learn to use cold wax painting to add luminosity, texture and depth to your work.

This workshop is for artists who want to learn a new technique in painting, explore cold wax medium and oils, and deepen the knowledge in creating texture and layers in this medium. The technique enables to experiment, build up new depths & vibrant surface, add and mix colour. It's a playful way of working more intuitively and abstract, focusing on technical mastery and individual expression.

Fidelma has exhibited widely in Ireland and internationally including group shows EV+A, RHA Summer Show, The Ballinglen Arts Foundation, A.I.R. Gallery New York and solo show Rocca Fiore in Todi, Umbria, Italy.
