- Are caring for everyone else and can’t seem to carve out even half an hour just for you.
- Love the idea of painting, but long tutorials and big canvases feel overwhelming.
- Keep waiting for the “perfect time” to practice… and it never seems to come.
- Feel stuck in perfectionism and wish you could loosen up and just enjoy painting again.
If you nodded “yes” to any of these, you’re exactly who I had in mind when I created…

✔ You’re a beginner who wants a gentle, welcoming way to start painting.
✔ You’ve taken a break from painting (maybe years!) and need a kickstart to get going again.
✔ You’re tired of overthinking every brushstroke and want to try a looser, more joyful style.
✔ You struggle to find time for yourself and want a simple structure that makes it easier.
✔ You love the idea of being part of a kind, creative community (with zero judgement).

👋
Hi! I’m Ali!
I’ve been painting and playing with color since I could first hold a crayon, and I’ve spent over a decade teaching thousands of students all over the world how to create paintings they’re proud of.
I teach a loose, colorful style that makes room for happy accidents, imperfect brushstrokes, and your own personality.
If you crave a friendly guide who will encourage you, simplify the process, and remind you that you are creative, you’re in the right spot.

Where do the live lessons take place?
All interactive livestreams will take place inside a private Paint More Facebook group. If you are not on Facebook, you will still be able to access the video replays through January 19th using a direct link.
Do I have to use acrylics?
Nope! Ali teaches using Golden Fluid acrylics, but we encourage you to use what you have available to you!
Do I need painting experience to join?
Also No! Paint More is designed to offer something for everyone! We will show you exactly how to get started and if you are an old pro, we will introduce you to some new techniques!
How is this different from Paint Week?
The Paint More Challenge is designed to be:
- Faster – 26 focused minutes instead of a full hour.
- Lighter – small studies and simple subjects
- Habit-focused – we’re training your brain to say, “I am someone who paints.”
Think of it as your creative warm-up for the year ahead!
