Shawn C. says, "Dear Prabin, Here is my recommendation: I met Prabin years ago during Toastmasters in Emeryville. We both were working on improving our speech capabilities. I saw Prabin go from very beginner level speech to knock your socks off speaker that won a round of applause for best speech on a first-time business trip to India. At Toastmasters, he gave several speeches on art and art history that are on youtube. He sparked my interest in trying art, so I took one of his plein air courses at 4th Street Fine Art. Since he goes regularly to figure drawing, his level of painting is at the master level. He took our small class out to the Berkeley Marina to paint outdoors. First, he carefully scouted the best area for composition and light and then walked the students through the process of painting in oils. I was very happy with the results of the class and still paint to this day. Thanks to Prabin. Cheers, Shawn Carter" 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

  • 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?

Alfredo is a super mentor. He starts with basics but if you have experience he will go where you want. He works on a painting simultaneously with you. Color theory, Values, etc. Well worth it.
