What you'll do
Explore your personal creativity and expression in this online painting course! This is a one-on-one private painting lesson that meets once a week. The class is designed to be a place of support and instruction for students who want to learn skills and techniques for painting in acrylic.
The lessons are individualized based on your skill level and interests. Together, we can explore a variety of painting subjects such as landscapes, florals, still life, animals, figurative, or abstract.
Class structure:
- 5 minutes for check-in and set up materials
- 5 minutes for slide presentation (art vocabulary, art techniques, photo reference)
- 45 minutes for sketching and painting
- 5 minutes to share
Skills and techniques:
- Sketching with shapes
- Underpainting
- Creating contrast and value
- Blending and mixing colors
- Perspective
- Texture
Sample lessons:
1. Landscapes: Mountains and Beaches
2. Sunset Landscapes
3. Colorful Birds - Hummingbird, Parrot, Toucan
4. Florals - Roses and Sunflowers
5. Still Life - Fruit Bowl, Sweet Treats
6. Animals and Underwater Creatures - Jellyfish, Blue Whale
7. Urban Landscapes - City in Perspective
Your instructor will set up a second camera view and paint alongside the student. Instruction is provided before we paint but also while we are working through the painting process. Students may follow along in a step-by-step format but also make unique creative choices regarding color, shape, texture, etc. I will check in with the student 1-2 times per lesson and provide gentle feedback if requested. Sharing is encouraged but not required.
Painting is a fun and relaxing medium to work with, and I strive to create a learning environment that is supportive and encouraging.

Your teacher
Hi my name is Molly Cranch and I am an artist, author-illustrator and arts educator based in Chicago, Illinois.
I have taught students ranging from age 3 to adulthood in a wide variety of settings including public and private schools, online and in art museums and art centers. I have taught a wide range of art media, however I love to teach 2D materials such as drawing, painting, collage, and bookmaking.
My teaching philosophy is relaxed, supportive and student-centered. I teach basic skills and techniques while allowing room for creative flow.
