Painting Courses & Workshops
Layal’s online painting courses and workshops are open to artists of all levels, welcoming students from across Canada and internationally. These online painting classes are designed to provide a supportive, easy-going environment for creative exploration, where students can develop their skills while experimenting with a wide range of subjects and techniques.
Rooted in her practice as a Canadian visual artist, Layal’s workshops extend beyond her personal style of imaginative architectural painting. Each session introduces new approaches to acrylic painting, materials, and visual language, helping students build confidence while discovering their own artistic voice.
Delivered via Zoom, Layal’s painting workshops create a relaxed and welcoming learning space focused on enjoyment, skill development, and creative growth. Free from pressure or rigid expectations, her online art classes encourage curiosity, play, and meaningful progress at every stage.

How the Classes Work
-
Getting Started: Layal will prepare the canvas and email you an 8" × 10" reference drawing to print and transfer onto your canvas or canvas board.
-
Painting Step by Step: Each project is broken down into easy-to-follow stages. Layal will demonstrate the painting process during the live Zoom lessons, and the lessons are recorded so you can revisit every step.
-
Paint at Your Own Pace: A painting is completed over a couple of weeks rather than in one sitting. The recorded lessons are uploaded to YouTube weekly, allowing you to pause, practice, and continue whenever it suits you, all from the comfort of your home.
-
Enjoy the Journey! There's no rushing and no pressure to get everything perfect. It's your time to relax, explore your creativity, learn something new, and enjoy the simple pleasure of painting.
