Rashida T. says, "Miles, is still teaching my 7 year old daughter. As well as the skate boarding she is very much impressed by his artistic talents and she enjoys her lessons thoroughly. Miles has a very kind and approachable manner with our daughter. She’s a slow and steady learner but has learnt quite a-lot from Miles in a short time. I would highly recommend his lessons and have already referred him to friends. " Read more

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

  • 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 Gainesville painting classes

Recent success stories from people in the Gainesville area.
Winnie F.
Miles is a wonderful teacher. He's teaching my 11yr old daughter skateboarding. He is patient, kind, and really takes to the time to understand the way she learns. It's been great to see her go from shy to taking risks with each class. He is genuinely just as excited and proud as I am when he sees her master a new skill. I'm sure she'll be a skater for life because of Miles.
