Alai is a great teacher as well as an excellent artist, and her enthusiasm is totally infectious. Her presentation was extremely slick with multiple camera angles and video collages, making the experience perhaps even better than it would have been in a classroom (especially if you were sitting a long way back). I have no idea how she was able to multitask so well, changing camera angles while painting and teaching all at the same time.
The workshop started with some colour theory and then a warmup mini-painting. The main painting was Halloween-themed and included multiple light sources and types of objects (glass, ceramic, fabric, flame etc), so quite challenging but a lot of fun. I have included my painting here.
Alai stresses the importance of not being too perfectionistic, which is a useful reminder for me. She paints quickly and has her eye on the over-all piece, rather than getting stuck on any particular detail. She likes to keep painting in a state of flow, rather like the paint itself.
The video recordings were also available afterwards, which allowed me to review a few things later at my leisure. Highly recommended - I will be looking forward to the next workshops she puts on!
Hi Alan! I can't thank you enough for the kind words and the time you took with the review. I am so happy you enjoyed the workshop so much. And makes me so happy that you appreciated the extra effort making the scenes and camera plays to make the class dynamic. Thanks again and it was a pleasure having you in the class! See you next time ♥️

Siempre un placer tenerte Fiorella! La próxima en vivo! muchisimas gracias por la review ♥️
This class was so fun and worth it! I learned so much about oil painting (which I've never done), color theory, the tools needed to approach an exciting color palette, and created a painting my husband wants to hang in our home at the end! Alai is so sweet and has a great set up for giving the viewers the perspectives needed to see color mixing, painting and the reference all at once. I will absolutely take another course with Alai.
Hard to believe you never painted with oils! That's so good! and thanks for sharing it too :) thank you for all the beautiful words, now and before! and as said, if you want to join again just talk to me first ;)
I loved this class so much!! we learned so much in such a short amount of time and it was worth every minute! Highly recommended to future students :)
So glad you didn't find it rushed or anything! Thanks for recommending it Donna!
I took this workshop because I enjoy the feeling, vibrancy and execution of Alai's paintings. Not only did I learn a lot in the workshop, Alai is a wonderful teacher, very nice person and explains everything very well. I highly recommend.
awww thanks for that Jackie! I am so happy you had such a nice experience! And thanks for the words :,)
