Watercolor Sketching 1-day Workshop In Palm Desert
Watercolor Sketching 1-day Workshop In Palm Desert
Join me for a relaxing day of watercolor sketching while we take in the beauty of the gorgeous scenery in Palm Desert and Palm Springs.
This will be a small group class of 8 students or less.
I'll begin with a 1 hour morning sketching painting demonstration with instruction on how to compose, draw and paint a colorful, fun sketch of a landscape! My palette will be visible at all times so you can watch me mix colors. Next, you will do your own sketch from start to finish with my help:).
For the rest of the afternoon I will go from person to person offering personal instruction to each of you at your level. I will support you as you develop your own painting style. I will do another demonstration in the afternoon. These sketching workshops are a chance for you to sketch and paint 2 or 3 or more different landscapes. .
This class is suitable for complete beginners through advanced artists.
Workshop will be from 10:00am-3:30pm at a variety of locations in and around Palm Desert

What student's say
Kristen, thank you for the great workshop! Everyone agreed we have never had anyone give such an informative presentation.
I have taken a number of workshops, mentoring sessions and online classes and Kristen is hands-down my favorite instructor. She is not only an extremely talented artist, but an effective teacher. It is truly a gift to be able to provide valuable and meaningful advice and guidance in a positive and inspirational way. Kristen is so encouraging and can explain difficult concepts clearly and put them in the context of your individual skills as an artist. I highly recommend Kristen’s online classes and if you have the opportunity to work with her in person, don’t miss it!.....Marie
I loved how you used a slightly different mix of colours as you continued, and you carefully and clearly explained the colours you were blending. This made it a lot easier to follow and achieve a result far greater than I thought I could have done otherwise.
The construction lines were a great tool and explaining how they worked during the compositional stage really helped pull the foreground into the focal point. I kept this in mind as I continued the finishing touches and I believe it made a huge difference to my finished painting.
My big 'aha' moment was when you were describing shapes and discussing having too many of the same size. I then looked at the positive and negative shapes and saw my work from a completely different perspective. This was a game changer for me.
Thank you so much Kristen, this has been a wonderful painting to do, I have learnt so much and look forward to painting many more......Sophia H
