I’m a really great artist, but not much of a teacher. I can talk you through a really great oil painting session, and show you how to free yourself into a raw canvas and make sense of it.

Berg, self-taught, specializes in oil paintings that conclude figurative work, hyper-realistic portraiture, abstract dimensions, landscapes, and your occasional cat or banana flag. This interdisciplinary approach allowed her to create layered, textured pieces that invite viewers to engage with them on multiple levels. With a wealth of detail and brilliant characterization, she depicts the profligate and inane existence of colorful youthful activity. Berg invented a sort of visual shorthand that enabled her to recall with perfect clarity whatever sight she wished to retain. She became, by this means, an enormously learned artist possessing a p

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

  • 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?

Cheri K.
She’s a talented artist! A very nice person! I enjoyed our sessions together. I am a very very beginner in acrylic painting - and at times she was over my head. The first two paintings were pretty elaborate but I learned a lot from her and am glad I got to work with her.
