Hello Art World, I would like to start off by saying it's easier to contact me throught via email @ juvinciworld@gmail or text 408-561-0123. Join the paint party and get ready to have lots of fun. One of the thing's I enjoy about painting or creating art is that I can depoy enough patience to trust the process and understand that I sometime don't think about what I'm doing because I'm to busy in the process of doing. I believe it is, in fact better to do then pivot to make adjustment to your result's before. Developing your own unique style is the key to become a successful artist, they said and they is right.

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

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.
Painting Lessons With a Classically Trained Artist
Sabrina D.
I really appreciated the way she set up safe spaces for artist to grow in their technique and not feel the pressure of judgement. I learned so much about how to learn and remix the lessons to fit my own message. She's a kind and honest teacher and I recommend her if you are looking for someone who is authentically interested in helping you be better where you are and all the while helping you to grow.
