I teach art classes that are inspired by the incredibly powerful benefits that I've obtained through my 7 years as a painter. Art is more than a hobby, it's a therapeutic outlet, and I want to help other people realize their potential as artists to experience the same passion that I've found. I'm a self taught internationally published artist who specializes in acrylic, oil and watercolor painting but I enjoy teaching a wide spectrum of arts and crafts. I love art and helping people realize that they have the talent to discover the artist that lives within them too. We all have creative potential and I love that people can find their own voi...

I help people step into their creative power to develop awareness, confidence, and inspired action to achieve a fulfilling life!

Your Painting Lessons questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Lessons.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

  • Make sure you have the right supplies if applicable.
  • Avoid making large payments up front.

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?

Reviews for Denver painting classes

Recent success stories from people in the Denver area.
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.
