Parksville, BC

You have the desire to learn how to paint with cold wax and oil paint, the problem is every time you think about starting you feel completely overwhelmed and intimidated. Or perhaps you have started and you feel stuck. 

You are willing to do the work but you need a guide - an easier way to figure it all out and start painting from the heart in a medium you will love. 

You will paint several small pieces even if you are brand new to the medium. 

These paintings will give you the foundation and you will discover the possibilities of the medium. 

By the end of the retreat you will have the confidence to continue exploring the medium on your own. 

In three days you can go from being a beginner or a "stuck" painter to someone who is producing mini masterpieces!

I didn't always find cold wax and oil painting easy. In the beginning there wasn't much information available. I learned through trial and error, practice, and a couple of books. It was a lengthy process! I can fast track that for you! 

I am Patt Scrivener and I have been a professional artist for twenty years and have been painting since my teenage years, and I have a few secrets to share!
