Cold wax medium (CWM) allows you to do all this and more. CWM is a versatile medium that, when mixed with paint or pigment can create vibrancy and patina, translucence and opacity in your paintings.

Through these workshops we will explore techniques that create visual texture with a sense of depth, mood or meaning. You will develop small works, applying various techniques using CWM to create your paintings. CWM is fun, easy to use and suitable for both beginners and more experienced practitioners.
Janet Mazenier Janet Mazenier is a painter who has been working exclusively with cold wax medium for over three years, and, like others who use this luscious medium, is entranced by its ability to create rich surfaces, textures and luminosity.

Randall Froude Painting Demonstration Day
Saturday April 9th, 2016 9am - 4pm at Kumeu Arts Centre Randall Froude is one of NZ’s most accomplished and successful artists—both creatively and commercially. Froude, trained at Elam, is a multi-faceted artist who handles with elegance & assurance a wide range of techniques, medium, style & subject.

He has been called the ‘Monet’ of the South Pacific. Froude is based in the South Island but otherwise spends much of his time traveling in his personal mission to help others release their artistic gifts. What happens on the day: Randall will complete a painting from start to finish in oils. He will demonstrate many techniques, skills and tips acquired over 77 years of painting most of those professionally. While painting Randall will discuss techniques and answer questions and you are most welcome to take photos or video to document his process. We will stop for coffee and lunch breaks. Tea/Coffee will be provided but please supply your own lunch. Bring along your camera or device as photographs are permitted. You are also welcome to bring along a notebook for any note taking.
