Join Kristy Kensinger in GREETINGS FROM, a course where she captures the essence of travel and daily life through painted portraits and scenes, offering insights on how to reflect these moments in your own artwork.

In this course, students will gather memories and ideas to craft a narrative behind each portrait. Moving beyond just painting faces, we will learn to create settings, backgrounds, and moments that narrate a person's story. Inspired by both real and dreamt-of destinations, Kristy seamlessly merges travel settings with portraiture, focusing primarily on the enchanting Italian coastline. However, students are encouraged to choose any inspiring destination or moment in time.

Together, the class will work on expressive, fluid sketches and paintings that transcend mere portraiture, telling compelling stories by using vibrant colors to capture the essence and vitality of both person and place. Drawing inspiration from travel photography, we will develop backgrounds that transport viewers to different destinations, creating a captivating blend of portrait and landscape.  This course is going to be a ton of fun!  We hope to have you join us for this adventure in art!
