Creating art is not only fun, it has many health benefits. It boosts our positive emotions, while reducing the negative ones like anxiety and depression. It even has cognitive benefits for the young and the old. I use it as my meditation time — yes, it calms the mind too! I firmly believe having an arts practice is as important as exercise or brushing your teeth. Looking at art makes us feel LOVE and when we do things we LOVE we immediately add more love and excitement to our life! Now how easy is that?

Hi, I’m Irene Duma.
I’m a professional artist with a Fine Art History Degree. I call myself a late-blooming artist because it wasn’t until I was in my mid-fifties that I finally “gave myself permission” to paint. And boy am I glad , because I LOVE painting. And when you spend time doing something you love, you instantly add more love into your life. Nice, right? So, now I want to give you “permission to paint”. If you’ve ever wanted to be an artist or had a desire to try painting then consider this your gentle kick in the pants. If you have 3 hours, you can learn to paint! Let’s go!
Hear from some of my students
“… Do it! Oil painting is so much fun!…”
“… my improvement is impressive. And what a confidence builder!…”
“… Wow, Irene Duma’s Itty Bitty Mini Intro to Oil Painting Course packs a large and wondrous punch. I went in knowing next to nothing and only three hours later I had a 4″ x 4″ painting completed. From how to create your palette to choosing the right brushes to composition and sketching to determining darks, lights and middles, to colour mixing, mediums etc., I learned so much in such a short time. ….”
“… I am so grateful you came into my life. No one has ever explained the ABCs of painting to me in such an easy-to-understand — and exciting — way. You are really an excellent teacher. I now see the world — and my future paintings — in a completely different way. Thank you from the bottom of my heart….”
