I thoroughly enjoyed this workshop, it has completely changed how I use oil and cold wax. Paula's method of teaching is clear, concise and inspiring. I'm left hungry for more and look forward to the next! Vicki, Portugal

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.
