Supply List PDF

Learn to paint lively, accurate portraits using a shape-based, alla prima approach.

We’ll focus on:

• capturing proportions without a photo or grid
• mixing colorful flesh tones 
• creating painterly marks and surfaces

Because life work makes us both more observant and more efficient at finding the essentials of a subject, this workshop will be taught through self portraiture using a mirror and, in the final class, from an online live model. 

Demonstrations will be in oil, but the method is appropriate for all opaque mediums.

Ingrid Christensen is an award winning painter and instructor who specializes in figurative and still life oil painting. Influenced by French and Russian Impressionism, her work is an exploration of light, color and dynamic mark making.

A self-proclaimed “paint nerd”, Ingrid has written and featured in Winsor & Newton Masterclass videos, contributed articles to Artsy Magazine, and taught sold-out workshops in Canada and Mexico.

Ingrid lives in Calgary, Canada and has made her peace with snow.
