"The role of the artist is exactly the same role, I think, as the role of the lover. If I love you, I have to make you conscious of the things you don't see. Insofar as that is true, in that effort, I become conscious of the things that I don't see… An artist is here not to give you answers but to ask you questions." - James Baldwin
The heart of being an artist is a certain way of loving and living. How do you change your eyes to see the color of everyday life in a different way? How do you adore the small details enough to fixate on them? How can you be obsessive on purpose?
Oil painting can feel overwhelming and challenging, but the pursuit is worth it. This foundational course will teach you how to create vibrant narratives through learning and breaking composition, ideation, and color theory techniques.Â
You’ll learn how to think like a painter; exploring light, tone, and palette to create paintings that feel truly alive!

Hi, I'm Cynthia!
Â
I’m a painter based in Philadelphia who believes in the power of art to build genuine connection. To me, creating art trains the mind to deeply observe — to love the world as it is and as it could be. I’ve exhibited nationally at venues like the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Kennedy Center, and have been awarded fellowships at residencies like Vermont Studio Center.
In this course, we’ll cover the ins-and-outs of oil painting and dive into how to create dreamlike color. I’m incredibly excited to work with you on your own creative journey.
At the End of the Course, You Will...

Master Composition & Color
Confidently use the elements of design, distinctive brushwork technique, and nontraditional color theory to create vibrant, expressive paintings..
Create a Finished Artwork
Apply all your new skills to complete a polished oil painting that draws on your personal creative voice and narrative.
Course Content
The course features 10 modules with over 7.5 hours of guided learning and practice. Step by step, you’ll move from preparing your canvas and setting up your studio, to generating original ideas, mastering composition and color, and finally completing a finished oil painting.
The course includes practical exercises, historical references, and my personal techniques, designed to help you grow both technically and creatively. You can pause, replay, and learn at your own pace, making it ideal for beginners as well as those who already paint and want to deepen their practice.
By the end, you’ll have the skills, confidence, and a completed artwork that reflects your unique artistic vision.

Theory & Ideation
A huge part of this course focuses on the importance of drawing from your interests and personal history to develop one-of-a-kind work. Learn techniques to synthesize and transform your existing ideas into complex subject matter.
Instructor Support
You will not be learning alone. You will have access to guidance and feedback to help you overcome challenges and keep growing step by step. Creating characters and worlds can feel overwhelming at first, but with support you will never feel stuck.
