Arts

Hello, my name is Kiersten. I'm a classically trained, professional artist and art teacher who loves to share beauty, emotion, and passion through the unique language of art! I love to encourage, inspire, and explain all the amazing techniques and concepts that make a drawing or painting a masterpiece. I also love to develop relationships with my students; there's something extra special about a good mentor-student bond. I care a lot about the desires, vision, and success of my students. Remember, art is a concrete skill that can be learned as long as you have the desire and are willing to be work. Most of all, remember to always  fun! 

Kiersten Sundberg is a professional fine artist and art teacher trained in the classical tradition of apprenticeship.  She apprenticed for three and a half years under master artist and art teacher Helen Kleczynski, a signature member of the Pastel Society of America and a member of the IAPS (International Association of Pastel Societies) Master Circle. From Helen, Kiersten received a thorough education in drawing, painting, running an art studio, framing, showing art, and art networking. 

After her apprenticeship to Helen Kleczynski, Kiersten studied under internationally-recognized artist and teacher Thimgan Hayden, who has won both national and international awards and exhibits work in Italy as well as the United States.  Thimgan was classically trained at the Angel Academy of Art and the Florence Academy of Art.  While working with Thimgan, Kiersten studied the atelier, a rigorous, centuries-old French program designed to train artists to represent what they observe from life with great accuracy and elegance, in the style of the old masters.  

Kiersten currently owns and operates Master’s Apprentice, which offers quality fine art classes and workshops, as well as commissioned original paintings by Kiersten.   For the past seven years, she has been teaching classes in all painting and drawing media in a wide range of artistic styles.  Her classes combine time-tested, skill-building learning methods with individually tailored lessons designed to encourage students to discover their own preferred styles, media, and subjects.  She loves Jesus and has a passion for classical, representational art.

Want to learn to draw and paint people? You can! In this class, students will learn to draw and paint the human figure and face in the style of classical realism. Each class will follow a basic structure, which will include the following elements: a short lecture/demonstration combination to relay important concepts, group exercises (including art games and timed exercises to loosen and warm up), step-by-step projects students can complete by following along, and more individualized instruction on personally chosen projects. Students will learn about proportions, measuring techniques, capturing a likeness, anatomy, planes and shapes of the body, flesh tones, how to portray realistic hair, Old Masters' underpainting and glazing methods, scumbling, poses, and more!
