With a photo of a chosen subject at hand, the class teaches them hands-on techniques in mixing paint, holding a brush, painting strokes and styles, to tips on framing the art work.

During online classes, the class refers to an assigned subject to be painted for the day's class, working synchronously with the instructor. While, standard face-to-face classes allow students to paint still life, landscape or seascape subjects of their choice, giving flexibility to ones’ mood and medical capabilities.

Annually, students exhibit their works at Sunshine Place.

The class also offers private lessons, kids classes, and special sessions for large canvass and commissioned works. All instructors are members of Arts Association of the Philippines.
