FREE ART WORKSHOP
Beginner Acrylic Project:
Still Life With Skull
Hey, I’m Dave, the artist behind @daveruinsart!
I want to invite you to a free, beginner-friendly acrylic painting workshop, where we’ll paint a still life with a skull together, step by step, without overthinking it, and without needing years of experience.
🗓️ Tuesday, February 17th
🕰️ 7 PM New York Time
This workshop is designed to help you actually paint, not just watch someone else do it. We’ll focus on clarity, confidence, and making something you’re proud of, even if you’re just getting started.
✨ And there’s a small surprise waiting for you inside 🎁
(Can’t make it live? No problem. Register anyway and I’ll send you the replay straight to your inbox.)
IN THIS WORKSHOP YOU'LL LEARN:
🎯 Composition Made Simple
✏️ Anatomy Without the Boring Stuff
🎨 Messy → Powerful Acrylic Painting
RESERVE MY SEAT
THIS WORKSHOP IS A MUST-ATTEND IF:
You’ve always wanted to paint but feel stuck at the “where do I even start?” stage.
You draw or paint sometimes, but struggle to finish pieces or feel confident in your results.
You love art and creativity, but perfectionism or fear keeps getting in the way.
You want a real project, guided by a professional artist, not a vague motivational talk.
If any of that sounds familiar, this workshop is probably for you.
This session isn’t about rules, theory, or doing things “the right way.” It’s about showing up, painting, and letting the work take shape. We’ll start with a skull, some acrylics, and a blank surface, and see what happens when you commit to the process instead of overthinking the outcome.
If you’ve been wanting an excuse to sit down, paint something bold, and actually finish a piece, this is it.
👉 Save your spot and paint with me.
Save the date!

Hey, I'm Dave!
I’ve wanted to be an artist for as long as I can remember. Art school wasn’t in the cards, so I taught myself: drawing, painting, making zines and independent comics, studying art books late at night and dreaming of doing this professionally.
In 2020, I owned a vintage store where I added Star Wars and Lord of the Rings characters to thrifted paintings. When quarantine shut the store down, I started sharing my work on Reddit, and things took off in ways I never expected. My art went viral and was shared by Newsweek, My Modern Met, and more.
I’ve been a professional artist for the past five years, creating work for collectors and celebrities around the world. My path hasn’t been linear or polished: it’s been built by making things, sharing them, taking risks, and following curiosity wherever it led.
From altered thrift-store paintings to viral moments online, everything I do comes from the same place: the urge to make images that feel alive.
This workshop is simply an invitation to sit down, pick up your brushes, and paint alongside me: no speeches, no formulas, just the act of making something real.
If that resonates, I’ll see you there.
— Dave
