Express yourself creatively on canvas with this live online acrylic painting class. Guided step by step by a friendly expert, you’ll transform a reference image into your own unique interpretation while building confidence in your technique.
The art class begins with a brief introduction to key concepts, followed by a live demonstration to show you how to approach your painting. You’ll then move into hands-on practice, where you’ll learn to simplify images into strong shapes, build compositions, experiment with color, and explore brushwork techniques, with the option to experiment using a palette knife.
Throughout the class, you’ll receive supportive guidance and individual feedback to help you grow at your own pace. This class is perfect for anyone looking for online painting classes for beginners, team building events, or any creative celebration. By the end, you’ll have a finished painting you’ll feel proud to have accomplished.
If you’d like a deeper experience, I also offer a 4-week program — feel free to ask me for details after the class.

I’m a visual artist based in Toronto with over 20 years of experience. My path into art wasn’t traditional, I hold a BCom degree and previously worked in the corporate world. After moving to Toronto in 2006, I made the decision to fully commit to my artistic practice and have been working as a full-time visual artist ever since.
Over the past five years, I’ve been teaching and coaching both in person and online, working with adults and seniors at different levels. My approach combines strong technical guidance with a more intuitive and expressive process. I guide participants in using acrylic tools, colour, and composition, while also helping them move beyond simply copying a reference image toward creating their own interpretation.
My teaching style is structured and guided, while still maintaining a coaching and mentoring approach. I work step by step through demonstrations, showing how to simplify a reference image, build a composition, and gradually transform it into a personal piece. Each participant is supported in creating a painting they feel confident in, and proud to sign as their own.
I also believe that art can be a powerful way to express thoughts and emotions. While my classes are grounded in technique, they naturally open space for personal expression, allowing participants to connect more deeply with their creative process.
Many of my students return regularly, which I value greatly. They often come not only to develop their skills, but to continue growing their confidence and individual style in a supportive and inspiring environment.
As an artist, my work has been exhibited locally and internationally, and I’ve received recognition including the Caravaggio Prize in Italy.
These experiences continue to shape both my artistic practice and the way I guide others in discovering their own creative voice.
