In this workshop

I share my proprietary techniques for creating stunning works of art in oil on copper. You’ll be learning how to combine the forces of nature (patina action) with your own creative force, creating images on the surface of pure copper, which is extraordinary element twenty-nine on the periodic chart.

What We’ll Cover

You’ll come away from this workshop with a firm grasp of materials and technical elements, including:

• Copper sheet • Copper foil • Surface preparation • Copper oxidation processes • Patina agents • Lacquer resist • Sealing the copper • Oil paint on copper • Mounting considerations • Health and safety

And…

You’ll be working directly with me in fundamental issues of the creative process, including:

• Developing subject matter • Finding a voice in the copper • Letting go of ‘mistake’ mentality • Opening the door to serendipity • Identifying your best direction • Avoiding pitfalls, seizing opportunities • Recruiting next level – higher forces 

This is a hands-on course. Most materials and equipment supplied. You’ll need to bring or purchase about $20 worth of materials for the course if you don’t already have them.

New for 2024: each day’s demonstration will be video recorded and a link supplied to you for refresher.
