As an art teacher, I use what students already know to help inspire confidence and fun, using th basic shapes, alphabet, and numbers to help bridge concepts to skills. I have taught art parties as well. I love working with both adults and children. As a professional academic tutor, I have worked with students K-7th grade on achieving thier academic goals. I work part time as a Sub teacher for SD Unified. I also work as a sub for local English as a Second Language (ESL) schools in SD. I am great with students who have mild learning disabilities or are speaking another language at home. I love seeing my students get a sense of accomplishment as...

Roxy N. says, "this event exceeded my expectations by far . Very personable and extremely fun . The teachers are master artists with great techniques and amazing styles . I found the group very intriguing and the back ground music was so uplifting. I came home feeling so retrieved and energized and more importantly I was motivated to take art classes finally do something for myself at age 48/5. I now attend master Nasrin kheiri’s Saturday semi private classes ( so affordable and so much fun ) Thank you chatter chatter sip and splatter ! " Read more

I'm experienced on both sides of art - drawing, painting and art history and the commercial "food on the table" side of art. I work from the old masters.

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 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?

This was a fun and relaxing time with family and friends. There were several instructors to help. The pace of the class was good. I love how my painting came out and when I look at it, I'm amazed that I did it!

Larue G.
My 13 year old daughter attended a painting class last weekend via Zoom. As a beginner painter, she knew she was in for a challenge. However, Karen made it a smooth experience by specifying the colors and supplies needed beforehand. She had multiple cameras set up that clearly focused on her canvas and palette as needed. Moreover, she was very patient in demonstrating how to blend the colors needed to paint water and waves. My daughter was very surprised at how well her painting turned out. Overall, it was a very relaxing class for my daughter, especially since the subject (water and waves) was so calming. A fun activity, especially when you're trying to keep the kids entertained at home during a pandemic!
