I give painting lessons in oil, acrylic, and watercolor in my studio at Serendipity Antiques & Interiors on hwy 72 in Athens, AL. I love seeing my students get the bug and start practicing and improving. I like passing along what I’ve learned in my 20 years of painting. I start students at the level they are and work with them in the direction they want to go.

Your Painting Lessons questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Lessons.

How much do painting classes cost?

Painting classes cost $200 to $500 for a 5- to 10-week course, or $20 to $80 per person for a single session. Local, city-sponsored classes typically cost less than private lessons or college courses. Some painting classes offer discounts for friends, children, or other groups.

Some instructors include all materials in their prices, while others require that you buy some or all of them yourself. Online painting classes can be done anywhere and can be paused as needed without slowing anyone else down.

How long are painting classes?

Painting classes usually last 1 to 3 hours¸ depending on the age group, experience level, and location. Kids' classes are shorter than adult or college-level classes and are sometimes only available during certain hours of the day.

What kind of painting class is best for beginners?

Acrylic paint is best for beginners because it is easy to work with, easy to clean up, and dries quickly. Watercolor paint is also convenient and easy to clean up, but it is harder to work with and correct mistakes. Oil paints are best for beginner or intermediate painters with some experience.

Where can I take painting classes?

You can take painting classes from local rec centers, colleges, private instructors, and paint-and-sip shops. Paint-and-sip businesses provide materials and instructions for students to complete while socializing and drinking or eating.

What do I bring to painting classes?

Some classes provide all of the paint and supplies. Others do not, and you will have to buy your own. This may include any of the following:

  • Paints
  • Brushes
  • Easel
  • Canvas
  • Apron

  • What type of paint would you recommend for my experience level?
  • What's your cancellation policy?

I left my second lesson with an oil painting that I couldn’t believe I made with Lori’s help. She is good at explaining the concepts she is teaching. Art classes with Lori are interesting and fun.

Experienced, gifted, creative, fun, safe, great prices. Highly recommend for art lessons or professional photography! My 9 year old daughter has been taking art lessons with Hunt and is having the time of her life! I love how they decide and plan together what project to work on and follow where the creative juices flow. Hunts always has a plan, but is flexible when new ideas comes to light. My daughter has sculpted with wire, paper, clay, and found objects; painted with a broad variety of mediums, including watercolors, oils, inks and pastels; made Christmas ornaments and windchimes. One day she even learned how to make crock pickles! Last fall Hunt came to our house and did family photos. She took pictures at many different locations and got every imaginable combination of family members. They are amazing photos! It was terribly hard to decide, and she was extremely reasonable. Hunt is easy to text, and willing to reschedule when possible. She seems to always find a way to work us in when we can't make our scheduled spot.
