    Are you thinking about gifting an original oil and cold wax painting to a loved one this holiday season but would like some feedback if it doesn't feel quite done? Or finishing one to hang in your own home? Or is a painting stuck in that awkward phase and needs a nudge? Maybe you'd just like a few hours away from the holiday bustle to paint with friends?

    This open studio time for returning CWM artists will be an opportunity for individual and/or group critique of works-in progress and/or nearly finished paintings. I will review and demonstrate technique(s) that could resolve identified issues and move the piece(s) forward.

    I will demonstrate mounting a completed painting (done on oil paper or artboard) onto a cradled wood panel and share some pointers that I discovered the hard way. I will discuss the use of float framing and some additional tips to ready your masterpiece for display.

    Students attending the full-day introductory session on Nov 30 are also invited to return with their paintings to learn some of the additional techniques that can be used on semi-dry surfaces.

    Feel free to email me with any questions about the class or materials.

    Maximum of 6 students. One 3 hour session
