I do painting parties. The host gets to choose the design to paint and if there are more than 4 in attendance the host is free. I make painting fun and help people realize that anyone can paint. I have a facebook page, Lets paint with Debbie, where you can view past parties. Let's design a party for your group! I love showing people that they can acutally paint a painting they will love. I believe painting is a great stress reducer and you can get lost in painting.

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

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?

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.

Jess assisted me in teaching a Pronto Plate Lithography demo and was really great, helping students when needed, but also letting them find their own way through the project.

I came to Sifu for Traditional Shaolin training , not wushu style, which is hard to find in regular popular Kung Fu schools. I desired a Shaolin Temple monks type of training and discipline. I'm thankful to find Sifu and be provided with what I was looking for in a genuine manner, and learned so much more. I would recommend Sifu Djuan to anyone looking for traditional Shaolin in a focused, intimate and genuine program. I have taken my years of study with Sifu Djuan further in my life to becoming a QiGong teacher and Sanda coach. I am forever thankful honored to share the teachings!
