Mel K. says, "Shawn was brilliant and kind! He led an incredible painting session with the children at the DCH, guiding them as they recreated Edward Munch’s the “Scream”. The kids were fully engaged and focused - each adding their own creative touch. They had such a great time that they want to do it again! Next up they want to do Vincent. An Goghs “Starry Night”. Thanks for a fun and educational day." Read more

I have been an art educator for 12 years in Boulder and have many different mediums I can help teach. My own work includes drawing, printmaking, painting and sculpture but have a background in many other techniques due to my years of teaching. Based upon what you are wanting to learn I can create special projects or simply help you explore. I accept students from 4 to 100!

I like to teach my students to use their mistakes not only to learn from but to give the painting it’s character, style, and richness!

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.

Hi im Sancy, I have been painting and drawing for as long as I can remember, my main mediums. Are charcoal and acrylic paint but i have tried most all mediums and don't limit myself to any singular style. I have worked as an early educator for three years and now I am going back to school to get my teaching license to teach high-school art. I have a passion for teaching and all forms of art and would love to help anyone i can grow.

Every lesson is a lesson for me as well. Im an artist naturally, but painting has been my joy. I teach students in the order i would do it, and let them add their own creativity. I have a street art type style so I usually add my own personal touch and style. My style, uniqueness, and timing is what makes my art and business stand out.

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

  • 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?
