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.

I did not get to finish classes since she moved, and I wish I would have been able to keep getting taught by her! She showed me how to draw realistically and how to make my own cartoon style even though I’m still bad at it!" Read more

Andrea E. says, "If you are looking for conventional drawing and painting lessons, think twice!!! Mark Brasuell is exceptional and not conventional. He is not only a teacher, but he is also sharing learnings of live... he is always giving you options, alternative ways that you can choose, never saying if you are wrong or right, only helping you to find out what is your own path in painting and drawing. What you really want to do. Mark is the best experience I have for years … talking about colors, composition, artist.... cheers him!!" Read more

I have been an artist for over 40 years and enjoy painting , drawing, multi media, watercolor, acrylic painting, pastels, ect. I like doing landscape painting, animals, seascapes, abstracts, and a wide variety of other things to paint. I think I would make a great instructor to teach others how to become a better artist.

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?
