NEW! Winter Findings

Winterscapes Mini Class

There is a beautiful dichotomy in the colder seasons. The quiet brings space to create. The lands share both spaciousness and stark contrast created from the long winter shadows. Through this class, we will embrace what winter means to us this season. Building layers and depth, we will drape our natural findings and winterscapes with drips of inks and paints. I can’t wait to see you in class!

We recently introduced our mini classes as a way to practice your art in a shorter time and learn about specific techniques, mediums or subject matters. I heard often from our students that they were overwhelmed by the amount of classes available to them online. They couldn’t even get to the lessons they wanted as they took too much time. We know your time is valuable. We wanted to bridge this gap with these classes. It also allows me to teach more subject matters!
Through our layover-style mini classes, we will focus on a specific subject matter or medium while combining our love of art and adventure. These classes are intended to be short enough to be done on your “layover” or long lunch break (2-2.5 hours).

Art Supplies

I always include all the supplies that I use in our class for reference in case there is a new material you want to add to your studio. However, I want you to use the materials you have on hand and enjoy the most. I always recommend watching the lessons first and then deciding if you want to add a new medium into your practice. If you have questions about alternative mediums, feel free to reach out to me at kristykensinger@gmail.com.
