Online Art Courses by The London Art College
Students set their own timetable and decide when they are ready to submit work to the College for feedback- you can enrol and start your course whenever you wish. You can study around your work and family commitments at times that suit you. Our art courses can be done either via the post or online – either way we endeavour to make it as simple as possible for you.
All of our art courses are thoughtfully crafted for home study, enabling students to progress at their own pace from the comfort of their homes while still benefiting from tutor feedback on their coursework. We are proud to have students from over 75 different countries worldwide studying with us online, eliminating the need for physical college attendance. We firmly believe that anyone can enhance their painting and drawing skills with the right guidance and practice.
How do our art courses work?
Our courses are carefully constructed learning programmes, comprising of progressive self-study units, with the opportunity to make submissions of coursework to a tutor for critique at various points on the course.
Our courses can be viewed online in full as well as being mailed to you in hardcopy. This means you can have access to the course even when away from home.
Coursework can be submitted to the college online in ‘The Art Room’ via scans or digital photographs, or alternatively via the mail as postal submissions.
Each student is assigned a personal tutor who will review and critique submissions, providing tailored help and advice to students. Tutors seek to get the best out of their students, as one artist to another.

A handful of our talented art tutors who will help and guide you on your art journey
This is a full blown, starting from the heart out, fresh eyed look at getting you – heart, body and soul – into the JOY of painting.
You don’t want to just paint. You want your paintings to reflect you, your heart, and your soul. I get that. I’ve created a special place for us to do just that, filled with special touches to nourish your spirit. A place that encourages and inspires you to start from the only real place one can ever start—-the heart. I knew when I started this journey of creating DREAM.LOVE.PAINT that every nuance, every painting created, every meditation video filmed, every nesting area created, must, should, HAD to be filled with LOVE.
My mission, above all, is to inspire you to do your work. So of course I show you how I paint. How to get fantastic colors. Ways to get playful with your brush marks. But most importantly, I push, pull, and overwhelm you with the desire to believe in the specialness of your gift and the importance of having it fully evolved. Ready to be inspired, to paint with the colors of your heart and to let the magic of your brush escape onto the canvas? Ready to find your inspiration and get glowing colors in your work?
I have had the privilege of taking two classes with Dreama and I am forever grateful and forever changed. Delightful, gifted and just plain fun, she fills each class with an abundance of unconditional Love. Here words of encouragement and excellent teaching allow one to blossom and soar with the best. Her paintings are awesome, her style unique and her posts most inspirational. Beware – she is contagious! Completion of a course and enjoying artists from all over the world, like family, leaves one chomping at the bit for the next one to begin!

It has taken me on a remarkable journey into the creative process. Dreama is a talented artist and gifted teacher who brings a lot of joy into the experience. There is something for everyone, from the novice painter to the professional who wants to learn new techniques, in a nurturing, fun-filled & inspired format!
Pat B.
Dreama.Love.Paint is wonderful in so many ways. I can do it in my own time and space. I have the camaraderie of so many other amazing artists. It is a mind/body/spirit art experience with mediation, joy journaling, making art and answers to questions from both Dreama and other students. I feel all levels of artist will enjoy and benefit from this art experience.

You are never too old to learn something new. Starting each painting session with mind yoga and looking for joyful things to focus on has changed my painting habits in such a positive way. Dreama I loved your “real life” motivational words as well as your unique way of painting.
Kem H-D.
Thank you, for helping me & so many others to really believe in themselves & giving us the “tools” to continue on with our personal journey. I loved learning the techniques of how you create your beautiful, joyful paintings & will continue to incorporate them into my own work. You are a ray of sunshine!
Vicki B.
The integration of learning, writing, inspiration and modeling of artistic thought and technique is profoundly good! I have studied with Dreama in a live workshop and the online course is equally awesome. I am learning so much!! Dreama is beautiful, brilliant, and humble – a fantastic teacher!!
Ruth P.
This course is absolutely inspirational! I am just a beginner with painting and I am doing this course using acrylic paints. The way the course is put together is fabulous, the videos lead you through each painting step by step but the absolute bonus for me are Dreama’s inspirational words. I look forward every week to the new material and find the course most instructional but most of all so uplifting! Thank you Dreama.
Angela R.
Dream.Love.Paint is much more than wonderful painting instruction, which Dreama provides with grace, encouragement, and humor; it is also an inspiration to soul-search and discover the meaning in what we do as artists. I have thoroughly enjoyed participating in your course and connecting with so many other wonderful people in the dedicated Facebook group. I look forward to continuing those friendships and returning for your next course!
Janette H.
I am beyond thrilled. Dream.Love.Paint is more than a painting class, it fulfills all the artistic and emotional needs of my soul. Painting is such a beautiful experience with Dreama.
Lou B.
Dream.Love.Paint is so much more than a fantastic painting course. I am a slow painter and having this at my fingertips at my own studio is perfect for me. Setting up the painting area with Dreama’s tips have made it a wonderful place of refuge for my painting. The inspiration and love from this course has made me a relaxed and less fearful painter. I would recommend this for anyone who is interested.
Joy S.
Dream.Love.Paint is so much more than a painting course. Dreama inspires us to focus on the joy, love, beauty and happiness in our lives and let that shine through our paintings. You are an amazing teacher as you share your wealth of artistic knowledge to guide us to create amazing paintings. The private FB group where artist from all over the world can share their experiences and encourage one another is awesome.
Jamie E.
I’m absorbing so much while painting along with Dreama and having so much fun sharing with everyone on FB – this online course is my happy place! It’s been the perfect introduction to oil painting for this newbie. Dreama shares her tips, treats and techniques in such an encouraging way, she makes you believe in yourself as an artist and that your work has worth and value to the world. Thank you Dreama, this has been a life changing experience.
Marcia B.
This course has been the best I have ever taken! I learned so many valuable details like organizing my palette and how to brighten greens without adding white! But the most valuable to me were the words of wisdom that Dreama offered with every lesson. The reminder of staying in tune with the unique gifts we have been given. To honor, who we are and to enjoy blooming right where we are.

It’s time to do what makes your soul happy. Once Upon a Time in Provence THE online painting course that’s all about France designed with your happiness in mind! You are invited to leave your responsible, hard-working adult self at the door and step inside for some much needed imagining, make-believing play and paint time! Don’t just paint, paint from inspiration that reflects you, your heart, and your soul.
I’ve created a special place for you to do just that, filled with visions of France to spirit you away. Delights to stir your imagination. A place filled with enchantment that encourages and inspires you to start from the only real place one can ever start – the heart. You have been in my mind in every step of creation of this online painting escape to France.

This is a MUST DO online painting course!! I just finished all of it and WOW Dreama and her team did not disappoint. I have always dreamed of going to France and this was the next best thing to actually being there! You truly get a sense of what it would be like to walk the cobblestone streets in Provence. Dreama makes you feel like you are strolling alongside with her. By following the online modules each week, Dreama shares a new and beautiful journey through villages and garden pathways, little cafes and flea markets, etc. you want to pour yourself a little French rosé and grab a seat at the table or paint a scene right out of Provence! It’s loaded with information and helpful videos that are truly heartfelt. I cannot say enough about this wonderful experience!
Kimberly B.
I absolutely loved this art course from Provence – it is so much more as you walk with Dreama through narrow village streets and buying soap bars with her at an open market. I loved watching her paint every painting and have learned so much and appreciate her art even more than I did before I took both courses…looking forward to her next one! 🙂 Don’t miss out…it’s a journey for your spirit and soul as well as enlivening your creative spirit!
Nancy S.
In her teaching, Dreama is able to weave sound color theory and technique with a unique way of expression. I feel that no matter where your talent lies, from beginner to advanced, you will be able to pull things from her teaching that will enhance your practice. Personally, my experience with this workshop has been a breakthrough in my work. And, The Facebook community is the icing on the “cupcake”.……you can not go wrong with this workshop.
Jenny W.
This is an experience that has gone far beyond my expectations. The content is exceptional along with all the personal touches and inspiration that Dreama passes along…the depth to which Dreama goes to give her personal touch and explanations of the process and the quality of the streaming videos and website. Once Upon a Time in Provence is good for beginners to professional painters. There is something here for everyone.
Wanda I.
I saved up and am currently going through the Once Upon a Time in Provence course and loving the journey. This is the first oils class I have ever ventured into and the first oil painting I have ever attempted. Every piece is a wall hanger and with each lesson, there is a measure of growth…and I finally quit holding my breath, loosened up and am enjoying the painting experience. I love the class and Dreama’s style of painting. I will definitely be signing up for another round.
Alanna W.
Dreama, with only a first peek, well actually three hours, I am overwhelmed at the totality of Once Upon a Time in Provence! I now understand all the excitement of your returning students.I have always believed that we learn best using all of our senses and your course does not disappoint. Instruction, yes but also music, food, daydreaming, journaling, little triggers to help us make our experience so very real. I can already say, I don’t want it to end. Thank you for your CREATIVE GENIUS in assembling all of this for us.
Sandra H.
I never fail to learn something wonderful in Dreama’s classes. I am always hungry for more! I have covered myself in classes for the last three years and I can say without any doubt, “Dreama’s is the best class out there!
Yvonne S.
If you have a chance to take an online workshop with Dreama, I would recommend you do not hesitate for a minute! Once Upon a Time in Provence is so far above any other workshop I have taken, I’m absolutely thrilled with everything about it. Dreama not only shares her knowledge of painting but spreads the love and joy of her knowledge and the way she lives her own life. She is truly a gifted and remarkable person!
Karen M.
With Dreama holding my hand, I have jumped into the deep end of the oil painting pool and have learned to paint with joy! Dreama is so generous with her insights, instruction and tips. I highly recommend taking her class…it has been worth every penny.
