Bring your past into the present as you interpret images of your family and ancestors through contemporary eyes.

You’ll learn how to transcend the snapshot and create a work that has both artistic merit and personal meaning.

We’ll focus on:

developing a clear concept for each image
editing and composing the elements of the photo into a dynamic and effective whole
generating colour schemes for black and white photos or color-degraded photos
exploring brushwork and paint application
simplifying features and figures

Working on several different images in this workshop will help you become comfortable and fluent in tackling photo references in the future.

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. ingridchristensen.substack.com
