Learn to paint colorful and loose, gestural figures in this 1.5 hour demonstration.

Artist Ingrid Christensen will demonstrate how to paint the figure as an integrated, graceful whole rather than as a collection of separate parts. The result will be a loose, relaxed figure that feels integrated with its seaside surroundings and poised for movement.

Throughout, Ingrid will focus on a strategic approach to color that emphasize sunlight and warmth.
