Torri L. says, "John is a great teacher. He is patient with explaining each action, he teaches the name of each move, and he is flexible with pacing. I requested to speed up some moves pretty early once I felt comfortable and he was receptive. He is full of knowledge and explained some of the history and meaning behind the teaching which I enjoyed and did not expect. I am doing Chi Gung to manage stress, back pain, and retrain my breathing. It's working and I'm happy with the teachings." Read more

Your Painting Lessons questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Lessons.com.

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

  • Make sure you have the right supplies if applicable.
  • Avoid making large payments up front.

What questions should I ask painting instructors?

When looking for local painting classes, ask the following questions:

  • How long have you been painting?
  • Do you allow walk-ins?
  • What type of paint would you recommend for my experience level?
  • What's your cancellation policy?
  • Do you have an age requirement?
  • How long are your classes?
  • Can I take my work home after class, or does it need to stay here to dry?
  • Will you give me an estimate and contract in writing?

I have always been apprehensive about my creativity and most especially drawing and painting. However, working with Lavenders Blue Art has given me the confidence to open up and allow my creative expression to flow without any fear of criticism or judgement of myself or others. I have learned a variety of artistic techniques as well as the opportunity to try a variety of mediums. Debra's teaching style is relaxed and inspiring. She has the experience, knowledge and patience that I needed. Now I feel confident to try new areas and have been pleasantly surprised with what has come from our lessons.
