Oil and Cold Wax with Bela Fidel

Ready to loosen up and let your creativity flow? Join us for a relaxed, hands-on workshop and dive into the lush world of cold wax and oil paints. Cold wax medium is a buttery, beeswax-based paste that mingles beautifully with oil colors. The moment you blend the two, the magic begins: rich textures, soft translucence, and velvety layers that seem to glow from within. It encourages experimentation—scraping back, adding layers, embedding marks and collage—all without the long drying times or rigid rules of traditional oil painting. No previous experience needed, this class will guide you through simple techniques for mixing, spreading, and layering, then let you follow your own creative instincts. Discover how cold wax can create dreamy, matte surfaces that invite touch, build depth with subtle veils of color, and capture spontaneous textures—from smooth sweeps to rugged, weathered effects.

Come as you are, bring a curious spirit, and leave with art that feels uniquely yours.
