She has an outstanding ability to teach beginners who have never picked up a paint brush through advanced artists and has the rare gift to teach them all in the same class! You will be amazed at what you can create when she is your teacher! Her teaching style is relaxed, yet she can coax the very best out of each of her students. You will walk away feeling enlightened, educated and fulfilled! " Read more

Cris Godoy is a multidisciplinary artist with background in architecture, originally from Brazil, and residing in Tampa, FL. An avid traveler, Cris sees the city with the eyes of an "andarilho", a Portuguese word meaning the wanderer, the explorer discovering new territory. Cris navigates between the realm of figurative and abstract work. What begins as drawings and watercolor sketches painted using watercolor on-site, develops into mixed media paintings in studio. Her art is made similar to how her journeys are made; walking to step away from the comfort zone of the studio and seeking new experiences. Cris is available for workshop adven

I worked for an art school as a head teacher for 4 years and my students were from middle-high school students who were preparing for an art college to adults who want to transfer their shcool to an art college or hobby seeking.

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 type of paint would you recommend for my experience level?
  • What's your cancellation policy?
