Pushing Paint Part 1
Discover Painting with Oil and Cold Wax
A Level 1 self-paced course that will enable you to start using this amazing media.
About this course
You may have heard of Cold Wax Medium and wondered what all the excitement is about? Perhaps you want to try it but have never painted with oils and wouldn’t know where to start?
On this workshop you will be shown how to create a painting from start to finish with just three colours plus white, and using only four basic tools.
I will also share with you just a few of the many techniques and tips I have to enable you to create work with amazing texture and depth. By choosing one of three palettes you will learn how to mix colours, build layers and textures, giving you the confidence to keep exploring. In addition you will create a series of four, small abstract pieces.
You have the opportunity to share your work and interact with other students on the specialist course platform (not Facebook).

What this course is not
This course is not an Encaustic painting workshop. Cold Wax Medium is not heated, it is used cold mixed with oil paint to impart a rich buttery texture and speed drying time.
Why choose me to teach you?
I am a highly qualified and experienced tutor…but more than that I can teach, teach well and I love it! As a leading authority in Cold Wax Medium in 2019 I was invited to write an article for Jacksons Art. You can read it here.
I hope this will be one of many workshops you take with me, all we be exciting, thought provoking and packed with information. I am known for my endless curiosity and hope that “What if….?” becomes your mantra too! Find out more about me here.
Course FAQs
WHEN DOES THIS COURSE START?
This is a Level 1 course which means it can be started as soon as you sign up. On enrollment, you will be provided with access to all content immediately. You can work through the classes at your own pace.
IS THERE TUTOR INTERACTION?
The course content is very comprehensive so you shouldn’t need any help but you can always email me at sally@sallyhirst.co.uk if you have a question.
WHAT IS THE NEXT LEVEL?
Pushing Paint Part 2 and Part 3 go into more depth about how to use the media; building layers and getting textural effects and much much more.
CAN I PAY IN ANY CURRENCY?
Of course! The payment is set in GDP as I am in the UK but when you pay it will convert to your own currency.
Payments are made via Stripe, a safe and secure payment platform, using a debit or credit card.
HOW DO I ACCESS THE COURSE?
You will be asked to register on the teaching platform Ruzuku. That is where the course lives.
WILL I HAVE ENOUGH TIME?
I cover a lot of ground but the videos are edited in such a way that the total running time is only 1-2 hours and this is broken down into chunks. Perfect for busy lives. The classes also come with lifetime access.
WHAT IS THE FORMAT?
The classes are delivered in video format via the online platform Ruzuku. There is also additional written content in the form of downloadable PDF’s
WHAT INTERNET CONNECTION WILL I NEED?
To get the most out of the class you need to have a high speed internet connection and newer computer or mobile device that is equipped to stream video off of the internet.
WHAT LEVEL ARE THE CLASSES?
The classes in this course are Level 1 and are suitable for anyone who has an interest in creating, beginners and more advanced artists alike.
DO I NEED ALL OF THE SUPPLIES?
No, I encourage you to work with what you have and adapt the classes to suit your needs. I am all for mixing things up and experimenting with materials! There is a supply list for each course but many students find it helpful to watch the Level 1 courses through first and then decide on their supplies choices.
IS THERE AN ONLINE COMMUNITY?
Yes, all participants have the option of joining the Level 1 Gallery which is on the Ruzuku site. There you can share your work if you wish to do so and see the work by other students. The Gallery is divided into sections for each Level 1 course so you can take a look and see what else is going on! There is no tutor interaction on level 1 workshops but I pop in approx. 1-2 times per week. You will also receive support from your fellow artists.
DO YOU OFFER REFUNDS?
I do not offer refunds for self-paced courses as the course descriptions give a very full account of the content, but in the unlikely event you have booked a course that is not right for you let me know BEFORE you start accessing the content then please email me at sally@sallyhirst.co.uk.
