NAS Artist of the Month
This month I was the Artist of the Month in the Newton Art Association newsletter. The article focuses on the Oil and Wax Painting I have been teaching and painting lately.
Newton Open Studios New Location!
I ‘m excited to announce I will be exhibiting in a new location in the Newton Open Studios this April 4 and 5, 2020. The space for 15 artists is called “The Centre” and the address is 1294 Centre Street right in Newton Centre. I have a lot of new larger work to display and will probably bring a few smaller pieces to have on hand. The work is all painting in Acrylic on canvas and or Cold Wax Medium and OIl on board or paper. There is much to see! Come join us!
Newton Community Ed Class Spring 2020!
I will be teaching Cold Wax on board (or paper) in the upcoming Spring session at Newton South High School. Classes start April 2 and end April 30. Thursday each week for four classes total. (No class April 23) The time is in the evenings, 6:30 to 9:30 pm. I taught this class the first time in Marlborough for three session at the Post Road Art Center and for five sessions last Fall with Newton Community Ed. This class is designed for beginners in cold wax or art in general. I review the basics of color theory, design and mark making. Beginners to cold Wax can purchase a kit from me that includes cold wax medium, paper, rubber spatula and several paint sticks. Oil paint and acrylic paint is also recommended.

Newton Community Ed Cold Wax Class
This Monday we started a five week class on Cold Wax Painting at Newton South High School through the Newton Community Education Program. Class starts at 6:30 pm and runs until 9 pm. Come join us! Cold Wax medium is provided by the instructor (me) and there is a list of other materials to bring. Check it out at the Newton Community Education website. It’s not too late to join us!
In this class we are learning about what Cold Wax Medium is and how to use it. There are a lot of materials and tools involved in the stages of the cold wax drying process. We are also covering Value, Design and Color so that artists can improve their art skills as well as learning the medium.
