Painting with Paul

Build on your foundational painting skills and take your acrylic work to the next level in Painting with Paul. In this guided, hands-on class, each participant will complete a finished small acrylic painting with expert instruction from Paul Illian.

Each session explores a different subject — from expressive landscapes and classic still lifes to lively animal portraits — giving you the chance to expand your skills while developing your own artistic voice.

Paul’s supportive, step-by-step approach helps you refine technique, build confidence, and learn how small adjustments can dramatically improve your work.

What to Expect:

  • Expert guidance throughout the painting process

  • A completed acrylic painting to take home

  • Instruction that builds technique and creative confidence

  • A welcoming environment for learning and experimentation

Supplies:

  • Gesso boards are provided

  • If possible, please bring your own:

    • Brushes

    • Acrylic paints in white, black, yellow, blue, and red

Whether you’re looking to sharpen your skills or simply enjoy a creative afternoon under an expert eye, this class offers inspiration, instruction, and a finished piece you’ll be proud of.

Come paint, learn, and grow with Paul.
