You’ll build on your existing knowledge of oils and cold wax, developing rich, layered paintings with greater depth, movement, and texture.Under Paula’s guidance, you’ll explore advanced techniques for building complex base layers, refining colour harmonies, and strengthening compositional structure — key skills for scaling up your work and developing your own visual language. Over three days, you’ll work intuitively across a series of paintings, allowing each piece to evolve naturally. The workshop combines demonstrations, technical insight, and plenty of one-to-one support.What You’ll Learn· Build depth and movement using texture tools and reduction techniques· Carve out form and create “quiet spaces” for balance and emotion· Use colour to convey mood, atmosphere, and dimension· Work with pigments, marble dust, and loose powders for tactile effects· Master blending and layering with brushes, squeegees, and palette knives· Experiment with solvent pours, glazes, and reduction methods· Explore masking and transfer techniques· Solve compositional challenges through colour, value, contrast, and shape· Learn how to mount and finish your paintings for professional presentation· Create a cohesive series of small works that function beautifully both individually and togetherIs This Workshop for Me?This workshop is ideal for participants who have attended Atmospheric Landscapes or have some experience with oils and cold wax.
