6-week Online Painting Series
Risa Gettler, Instructor

Step into the world of medieval illumination with Risa Gettler in this 6-week online painting series focused on Rinceaux—the flowing vine and leaf ornament found in 12th-century manuscripts.

Drawing from her experience in historical inspiration, Risa guides you through building motifs, layering color, and composing finished pieces.

Each session builds toward a cohesive painted collection that reflects both the richness of tradition and your own creative voice.

An optional weekly Open Studio session is held on Mondays.

Access to this series does not expire.
