Course Description

Every photograph has within it the seeds of creative transformation, whether that’s explored on the iPhone, through darkroom practices, or—as is the case in this workshop—within the limitless world of painting. 

Here, over four online sessions, Jill Skupin Burkholder shares methods, tips, and inspiration for using cold wax medium and oil paint to change your photographic prints, by a little or a lot. Applying cold wax is a simple process that involves mixing small amounts of the creamy medium with traditional oil paint. No heat is necessary, and a tabletop work area is perfect. 

We begin with simple, playful techniques, and participants move toward developing their own styles and approaches. Hands-on participation is a delightful way to explore possibilities, and each session features presentations, demonstrations, and time for painting. A few art supplies are needed for the first session, and by our second meeting you are already printing and sharing your images. 

As you continue to experiment and express your creativity, you’re encouraged to find new ways to craft your images by combining classic art materials with a contemporary twist. All along the way, Jill guides you toward developing a painter’s mindset, seeing color and texture with a fresh pair of eyes.

Santa Fe Workshops always aims to produce a high-quality experience for our online attendees. That said, variables including regional and local internet provider speeds, traffic on Zoom's servers, and your own computing hardware can contribute to a less than ideal streaming event. While we do our best to minimize the impact of these variables, they are outside the control of Santa Fe Workshops.

For the convenience of participants, recordings of each class session are posted privately for one month after the end of each session. Santa Fe Workshops takes the recordings down after one month to protect the intellectual property of our instructors.
