Pennie B. says, "Learning drawing with colored pencils and it has been great! I've gone from barely being able to do stick figures to pictures I'm proud of. Once Mary has taught you the basics, she encourages you to draw what interests you. She is always positive and gives you plenty of support to do the best you possibly can. I look forward to class every week!" Read more

I enjoy finding out about the student’s interests in the subject, so that we can tailor the lessons to what the student really wants to learn. I like responding to their needs and desires, and will “coach” them to learn and improve in the areas that they aspire towards. Teaching helps balance an artist’s life. It creates a built-in social network, which creates structure, and also inspires creativity and passion, as well as adding discipline to whatever subject being taught....

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

  • Avoid making large payments up front.

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?

Karalee really understands what her student needs and more importantly how to help them achieve that. She helped me improve both my drawings and how to use watercolors. Karalee is always positive in giving feedback to help me improve and very encouraging. And, she’s a very easy going person who knows how to create art—drawings, acrylics, oils, watercolors. I highly recommend Karalee as an art teacher.

Rae is a fantastic teacher: I really thought I was not able to paint or draw, but under her patient leadership I am now very proud to be able to paint my own cards for friends... Rae gives us the right amount of support: enough so we don't get discouraged, but not too much so we can learn from our small mistakes. I am now totally addicted to her classes.
