I’m Naomi,
an artist and educator with ten years of experience working as a professional artist.
I believe that technical skill and creative expression work hand in hand. The more you understand about colour, proportion, composition and paint, the more freedom you have to make expressive choices and develop a style that feels genuinely your own.
This course brings together some of the key principles behind expressive painting, including colour theory, drawing faces and figures, colour mixing, acrylic techniques and expressive portraiture.
Rather than simply teaching you what to do, I want
to help you understand why certain choices work and how you can use those ideas in your own paintings.
The result is a course that combines practical techniques with a deeper understanding of the creative decisions behind them.
THE FOUNDATIONS OF EXPRESSIVE PAINTINGS — the course that changes everything
Most artists struggle because they never built the foundational skills. Pre-recorded video lessons that build much stronger understanding of colour, proportion and expressive painting.
MY TEACHING METHOD
The course is highly practical. Each lesson is taught through real-time demonstrations, so you can see how I approach a painting, make decisions and respond when things don’t quite go to plan.
You’ll be able to paint alongside me, applying each technique as you learn it rather than simply watching demonstrations from beginning to end.
We start with the fundamentals of colour and gradually build towards drawing faces and figures, working with acrylics and creating expressive portraits.
Throughout the course, I’ll explain not just the techniques I’m using, but the thinking behind them. You’ll learn how to look at your work critically, recognise what might not be working and make adjustments with greater confidence. There is plenty of room for experimentation, too. You don’t need to produce a perfect painting at every stage, the process of trying, adjusting and discovering what works is an important part of becoming a better artist.
By the end, you’ll have created a collection of finished paintings and developed a much stronger understanding of colour, proportion and expressive painting.
This course grew from my experience teaching artists in workshops and one-to-one sessions. Over the years, I noticed that many people don’t struggle because they lack creativity. Often, they simply haven’t been given the tools or framework to understand what they are seeing and translate it into a painting.
Colour theory, proportions and expressive painting can seem complicated when you first encounter them. My aim was to make these subjects much more approachable, without oversimplifying them.
I’ve brought together techniques and ideas that I’ve developed through ten years of painting, experimentation and teaching, and turned them into a practical series of lessons that you can work through at your own pace.
The goal isn’t to teach you one ‘correct’ way to paint. It’s to give you a stronger foundation from which you can experiment, make informed decisions and gradually develop your own artistic voice.
AS SEEN ON:
Professional artist. Internationally exhibited. Collected worldwide.
My work has been exhibited in solo shows in London, including with Brothership Gallery and is held in private collections around the world. I also appeared as a contestant on the television programme The Outstanding Artist.
With over 26,000 followers on Instagram, I’ve built a community around my work, sharing my paintings, techniques and experience as a professional artist.
Now, I’m bringing that experience into my online courses, breaking down the techniques and processes I use in my own practice so you can apply them to your own painting.
Learning to paint can sometimes feel overwhelming. There’s an incredible amount of information available, but knowing how to paint something and understanding why it works are two very different things.
This course is designed to bridge that gap. Rather than focusing purely on technical instruction, we’ll look at the decisions behind a painting, why certain colours work together, how proportion affects a portrait, how brushwork can change the character of an image, and how you can use these principles to develop a more expressive style.
YOU WILL LEARN HOW TO:
• Create interesting and harmonious colour palettes.
• Understand colour relationships and use them more confidently.
• Draw faces and figures with greater understanding of proportion.
• Identify and correct common drawing problems.
• Use acrylic paint to create depth, texture and vibrancy.
• Mix more interesting and nuanced skin tones.
• Use colour and brushwork to create expressive portraits.
• Make more confident and independent artistic decisions.
Whether you’re picking up a paintbrush for the first time or looking to take your existing work in a new direction, the course is designed to meet you where you are.
You don’t need formal art training. You simply need curiosity, a willingness to experiment and a desire to understand your materials and your own creative process more deeply.

The course is highly practical with real-time demonstrations throughout. You’ll be able to work alongside me as we move from sketching and anatomy through to colour and finished paintings.
We’ll begin by breaking down the structure of the hand before moving into my block method for drawing hands in different positions.
From there, we’ll explore colour theory and mixing skin tones, before putting everything into practice through acrylic and oil painting.
Throughout the course, I’ll explain not just what I’m doing, but why — helping you develop a way of looking at hands that you can apply to your own work.
MY TEACHING METHOD
THE FOUNDATIONS OF PAINTING HANDS —
the most asked about course!
Hands are by far my most asked about topic. It's the thing that people struggle with the most and they are one of the things that let down figurative artists the most. That's why I'm so excited to share my ultimate guide to painting hands with you!
Hands are something many artists find difficult. Their complex structure can make knowing where to start feel overwhelming.
Over the years, I’ve developed ways of simplifying the hand into manageable shapes without losing what makes it unique. I wanted to bring these techniques together into the course that makes hands feel much more approachable.
We’ll also look at the work of the Old Masters, exploring how they used hands to communicate emotion, gesture and meaning.
The goal isn’t simply to teach you how to draw a convincing hand. It’s to help you understand what you’re seeing, so that you can draw and paint hands with much greater freedom.
