Explore the exciting possibilities of combining melted beeswax with watercolor. We will drip and draw gestural lines with liquefied 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. The beeswax, wax melters, and the specialized application tools will be provided by the instructor. This is an enjoyable experimental way to spice up your watercolors. Demos and handouts will be provided. A $5 materials fee is payable to the instructor in class. A supply list can be found here.
