Mrs L. says, "If you want to find your artist inner voice, Frau Legler is your best choice. You can go with any level of experience. I mean, really any, and I mean including zero experience and zero talent and she will show you how your talent is there somewhere, even if you don't know it. There is no criticism, no micromanagement, just guidance and encouragement. To me - she trusted me more than I trusted myself. And that was tremendously helpful. She has an absolutely gorgeous little studio, a very pleasant environment to bring onto the surface any artistic feeling. There is an European flair in the studio and the lessons and there is far more depth in this lady than her website shows. Best teacher you'd want!" Read more

I often enjoy a lasting friendship with my students. One cannot teach a horse how to drink water; its thirst is the teacher from the start. But I can kindle that love, and further, I can provide tools and tips for making the uphill climb toward our creative aspirations more streamlined and effortless. At the point in which we exercise our artistic drives well, life makes all the more sense. Art gives life flavor, in that it provides the unique taste of satisfaction in an artwork well done. It breathes joy for those that seek joy in it, it expresses a pain that words cannot describe for those that feel that need; it makes known something othe...

Kim B. says, "Yana is a kind and patient instructor. She offered many straight forward tips about how to begin oil painting that saved me endless hours of trial and error. She demonstrated her painting live and explained her actions step by step. I would then try a similar set up and Yana would give me tremendous insight into how I could improve my piece while also pointing out my strengths. She helped my confidence and was all that I had hoped for in an instructor. The ability to get one on one help from such an amazing artist was a privilege!" Read more

What I will offer, if you want to learn to draw or paint a hand, a face, a figure , I can teach you how. If you want to learn how to draw or paint a picture digitally, I can teach you that also. What I hope to do is help people to find their unique voice, so they may then communicate it to others, and in many different ways. Every student I meet will have a syllabus (of sorts) that they receive after their intial session. The syllabus will t reflect their skill level and goals. I am a great believer that everyone is an Artist, because at it's core Art is a form of communication. When learning a new language, you start with alphabets, sente...

There's more to painting than learning to copy a photo. My art background is in portrait realism and abstraction. With my help, you can create work that explores more than just traditional techniques in oil and acrylic. https://www.instagram.com/erikflores_on_art/ Art and education has been a big part of my career for the past 10 years.

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

  • Do you allow walk-ins?
  • What type of paint would you recommend for my experience level?
  • What's your cancellation policy?

I loved the class. It was a beautiful natural setting. Very peaceful. The teacher, Lark was very sweet and helpful. I wasn't sure if I would like what I made, but in the end, I did. The other people who attended were also very nice and fun.…

He is able to break almost every complex art related task down into reachable step-by-step exercises. It may seem formulaic at first, but that approach worked to quickly facilitate for me a solid understanding of perspective, figure drawing, portrait painting, and even sculpture. His critiques can seem brutally honest, but that’s an asset which also helped stimulate some rapid artistic growth for me.
