Glenna A. says, "Debbie has been my art teacher for nearly two years and was my son’s art teacher for many years. She is an extremely talented artist and exceptionally engaging art teacher. She is able to work with multiple mediums and materials and she is both flexible in terms of meeting students where they are at and in terms of what they are interested in doing/producing while at the same time providing enough guidance and structure to ensure that students actually learn. She is also gifted at teaching all ages from children to teens to adults. Her style is creative, open, and caring but also serious and well grounded in years of artistic experience and training.

Many of my students have been with me for years, and we all welcome new painters. Their work is diverse and their progress is clear. I try to take the worry out of the room. Fundamentals are important, and so is fun. Much class time is spent with individuals at their easels. I love Tuesday afternoons. There is warmth and camaraderie and appreciation as we explore color and composition and new and better ways to paint.

I have been a professional artist for many years. I am a painter and printmaker and have taught students painting and printmaking at all levels from college, high school, middle and elementary schools, also adult and senior age students. I love to assist students in the exploration of their individual creativity while technical expertise is developed as the servant of the expressive goals. In watercolor, acrylic and egg tempera painting, a basic but essential foundation is established on which we build a solid technique that will It is especially rewarding to me to see the unfolding wonder that accompanies the student's acquisition of skills ...

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 hoursΒΈ 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?

Debbie’s talent shines through every brushstroke, echoing the stories of her roots and the cultures that shaped her. With warmth and patience, she teaches not just technique, but confidence. Under her guidance, I’ve blossomed as an artist.

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.

We are so happy with Sindu, who has been teaching art to our daughter in HS for a year! She has shown great improvement in her art especially in sketching, My daughter recently won an art contest at school and made us all so proud! She is very dedicated and is wonderful at teaching art techniques.

Acrylic is a new medium for me. I started with watercolor painting. I especially like taking classes with Azar, who is a former university instructor in art. I have taken many workshops from artists who are not good teachers. As a former professor at CSU,EB in teacher education, I appreciate learning from someone who not only is an excellent artist, but an excellent teacher of art.
