Ingrid Christensen
Ingrid 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.

Since the pandemic, she has been teaching regular workshops online for The Winslow Art Center on Bainbridge Island, Washington.

The Painted History: a fresh look at the family album
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 colour-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.
