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.

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

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?

Reviews for Lakewood painting classes

Recent success stories from people in the Lakewood area.
Sarah A.
Working with Shawn was truly a pleasure! He's an experienced and competent teacher, able to break down difficult tasks into achievable steps. I had no previous experience with oil paints, but a great desire to paint portraits. In three lessons while I was in his area, Shawn gave me the knowledge and confidence to tackle oil portraits on my own in the future. I highly recommend this talented and capable gentleman!
