“Loved this course. It covered exactly what I wanted to know to start creating soft, beautiful pieces, and didn’t overwhelm with fancy tricks such as obvious texture, etc. An excellent course for me personally…exactly what I wanted to know to get me started on the way to using oil and cold wax in my own way. The class is very aptly titled. Atmospheric.”
Suzanne, Canada
“Wonderful for those that like working with CW and creating subtle effects for atmospheric landscapes. I have taken other CW workshops with many techniques but this video had many wonderful additional tips I am looking forward to trying to create subtle effects I have been trying to achieve.”
