Hi, I'm Holly!

Holly McWilliams

And I help artists, both beginner and professional, become better artists by inspiring them to realize their passion and expression of their creative self through ART. I’ve always seen the world through a visual lens, perceiving vignettes and cameos of perfect compositions all around me—just waiting to be put onto canvas! With my professional training at ACAD and years of being a professional artist (over 20 now!), I have learned how to use multiple mediums of art—from pencil sketching to oil paint, pastels to collage, and everything in between—I have helped thousands (yes, thousands) of artists with my classes and tutorials. And now I'm here to help YOU!

“I can say without any hesitation that Holly McWilliams is one of the best instructors I’ve ever had. She taught me everything I know about technical drawing and painting, as well as encouraged me to pursue my individual interests and concepts. Her teaching methods are extremely practical and personalized, demonstrating extensive knowledge in nearly every medium imaginable.”

Student testimonial

“I would not hesitate to recommend anyone, from beginner to ‘more seasoned,’ to work with Holly either in a class, a private teaching session, or a workshop. She’s always lots of fun and makes taking classes a pleasure.”

Student testimonial

“For years, I knew I wanted to learn more about art, but I had no idea where to start or who to learn from. Oil paints scared me and, up until I met Holly, the majority of my art had been sketching once in awhile. At the age of 50 I began classes with her. 2 years under her guidance has taught me so much and my painting skills are beyond what I had ever hoped or dreamed!”

Student testimonial

“Joyful, uplifting, energizing, amazing artist, guru, coach and cheerleader — that's Holly for me. She teaches the fundamentals to give me a foundation to build on, encourages me to explore and is helping me unleash my inner creative. Pick a medium — she knows them all. Holly is the bomb!”

Learn Colour Once — Use It Forever

Imagine sitting down to paint and not second-guessing every single mix. No more muddy colours. No more wasted paint. No more wondering, “Why didn’t that work?”

Instead, you actually understand your colours — how pigments behave, how they interact, and how to adjust them with confidence. Each mix feels intentional. Each palette feels calmer. You’re no longer guessing… you’re choosing. This is about building a colour foundation that truly sticks with you — one you’ll use in every painting, across every subject, in any medium you love. Learn it once, practice it well, and let it quietly support your art for years to come. Confident colour isn’t luck. It’s understanding — and you absolutely can learn it. 🎨✨
