Online Oil Painting for All Levels — December 2026

Join us for a live, interactive online painting class that combines painting demonstrations with in-depth, constructive critiques. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced artist, this class offers an opportunity to develop your skills, deepen your understanding of painting, and grow as an artist in a supportive and engaging environment.

December Schedule

In December, we will meet four times for three hours each—three Sundays and one Wednesday.

Due to a prior commitment on Sunday, December 13, that class will instead take place on Wednesday, December 16.

Each three-hour class is divided into two 90-minute sessions, with a short break in between.

Part One: Interactive Critiques

The first half of each class is dedicated to constructive critiques. Students are invited to upload their artwork for discussion and personalized feedback.

You can submit anything you're working on—not just the painting we're creating together. Portraits, figures, landscapes, still lifes, or any other subject are welcome.

I believe that critiques are one of the most valuable aspects of live online instruction. They provide an opportunity to examine artistic challenges, explore different approaches, and learn not only from your own work but from the work of fellow students.

Part Two: Live Demonstrations & Paint-Along

During the second half of each class, I'll demonstrate my painting process, sharing my techniques, thought processes, and approach to solving artistic problems as I work.

Students are welcome to paint along in real time, ask questions, or simply watch and learn. Recordings of the demonstrations and critiques are provided, so you can revisit the lessons or work at your own pace.

What We'll Be Painting in December

Our subject for December is LANDSCAPE PAINTING!

Each month, we focus on completing a single painting together, exploring the process from the initial block-in through the development of form, color, light, and atmosphere.

Throughout the year, we rotate between four subjects: figure, portrait, landscape, and still life. This approach allows students to develop a well-rounded foundation while exploring each subject in greater depth.

Come Paint With Us!

My goal is to create a welcoming, encouraging environment where artists of all levels feel comfortable sharing their work, asking questions, experimenting, and growing.

Whether you're painting alongside me or bringing your own projects to the critiques, you'll be part of a community of artists who share a passion for painting and learning.

I hope you'll join us in December!
