Kim Sobat 

Fall in Love with Cold Wax Medium Workshop
May 3 - 4 
Friday - Saturday
10 AM - 4 PM
$325

 
Beginner to Advanced levels.


Cold wax medium is all the buzz these days, and for very good reasons!  Not only is it used to make stunning paintings with oodles of depth and texture, but the combination of cold wax and oil paint is versatile, forgiving, quick drying, much more!  
 
In this two day workshop, you will learn how to create cold wax and oil paintings that reflect your individual vision.  Through demonstrations and exciting exercises, you will explore composition, values, color theory and artistic purpose in an easy and approachable manner with lots of humor injected.  Additionally, you will learn how to keep colors bright and vibrant without getting muddy and how to handle your tools to get desired effects.  Using scrapers, palette knives, squeegees, and even common household tools, you will learn how to create a variety of textures that will add character and flair to your cold wax and oil paintings.
 
All levels are welcome!  Beginners will enjoy the ease of use with cold wax medium, and experienced painters will enjoy the fresh and new approach that this versatile medium offers.

STUDENT TESTIMONIALS: 
"As a beginning artist, I had an opportunity to attend Kim Sobat's Cold Wax and Oil
workshop and it was wonderful. I was so pleased with the work I was able to create
with the medium and Kim’s expert tutelage. Kim Sobat’s Cold Wax and Oil workshop is
a must for any artist whether you are a complete novice or an experienced artist looking
for new mediums and techniques." - Rahnelle Rosado

"I attended Kim Sobat’s cold wax oil painting workshop on May 6 and 7, 2017. This
was my first experience with cold wax and thanks to Kim, it was an enjoyable experience.
Kim provided students with a comprehensive supply list and shared her own supplies
with the class. Her teaching methods include lectures and demonstrations. I
found her methods to be clear but still allowed for individual creativity by students. Kim
was there to help but not to stifle independent thinking.
Kim relates well to all individuals. I learned a lot, but also enjoyed my time with her
and the other students. I would take another workshop from Kim and recommend her
class to other artists.” - Paula Montgomery

"I throughly enjoyed the workshop Kim gave recently in Southern Pines. What
stands out in my mind about it most, is that she was so organized. The classroom, the
materials, how to utilize them, and Kim's demonstrations, all flowed in an easy going,
approachable manner and method. Her willingness to share her personal tips and
lessons, learned through years of creating and selling her own work, was so much appreciated.
Also the individual attention Kim gave to all of us. I received specific advice about
my approach, to my art and I came home excited to implement those suggestions and
new ideas.
​
Lastly, I just have comment on the fun we had. It's a wonderful bonus to have a personable
instructor that sets a relaxed tone for the group. The interaction we had as a
creative group was awesome. Thanks Kim for a great experience!” - Lynn Alker

Artist Bio​

Picture
While largely self-taught, Kim has been creating art since she was a small child. Her artistic parents and grandfather encouraged her creative interests growing up. She began painting with oils at age seven and soon after began identifying art as her greatest
strength.

After finishing school and faced with adult responsibilities, Kim worked in several different professions to pay the bills, but spent her free time drawing or painting. When she married
her husband, who is in the military, they moved to Alaska, Texas, and eventually Fayetteville, North Carolina. While there, Kim enrolled in an evening painting class which reignited her interest in painting and she has been painting consistently since.

Kim and her husband now live in Southern Pines, North Carolina. Since moving here, she opened and managed an art gallery; created and directed an after school art program; taught art lessons privately and conducted adult art classes at the Arts Council
and Artists League of the Sandhills, and taught art to adults with intellectual disabilities.



Over the past decade, Kim’s style has migrated from representational realism to abstract. She really enjoys the symbolism that abstract work embraces, but continually  employs many of the traditional conventions that make the classical masterpieces of the past still so compelling. In the past few years, she has fallen in love with cold wax medium and oils and uses them in all of her recent work. As a full time artist, she now really enjoys teaching others all the tricks and tips about working with cold wax in a fun and accessible fashion.
