Realistic Painting in Oils
with Kristina Laurendi Havens

For intermediate to advanced students

Kristina Laurendi Havens joins the studio again this fall to lead an intimate, intermediate-to-advanced oil painting intensive focused on composition, color harmony, and painting language. Bringing an MFA from Texas Christian University, Kristina offers a technical approach that emphasizes the "color story" and the deliberate preparation of the painting surface. While many local sessions focus on foundational mechanics or broad explorations, Kristina’s class is designed for those ready to refine their personal painting language through frequent live demonstrations and high-level individualized instruction.
