Demonstrations

Watch high-quality artists work in real time — learn the thinking behind every decision, anywhere, anytime.

Learn faster by watching real decisions

Demonstrations are one of the most effective ways to learn — you watch, you absorb, and your instincts improve naturally.

This area brings together demonstrations by strong artists from around the world, so you can easily find sessions that match your interests and level.

Demonstrations are different from workshops. There’s no pressure to keep up — you can focus entirely on how an artist thinks while they work.

You’ll see how experienced artists: simplify shapes, control values, mix colour, handle edges, adjust mid-painting, and decide when a piece is finished — the real process that never shows up in polished photos.

Find the right demonstration by filtering for:

  • Skill level — beginner through advanced
  • Artist — learn from people you admire
  • Format — online or in-person
  • Date & location — when and where it suits you

This includes online demonstrations you can join from anywhere as well as in-person events when you want that shared energy.

If you want to practise what you’ve watched, follow up with workshops that focus on the same skills.

And when you attend a demo or workshop here, you can feel good knowing you’re directly supporting a fellow artist. Artists on MakeArt keep the full amountzero commission, no platform cut.
