I am an award winning painter with many years of experience in traditional paint mediums, printmaking, photography and three dimensional construction. I have discovered that the joy of watching students successfully learn art making is as enjoyable as art making itself. I have been painting for thirty plus years and have won many awards and have exhibited in galleries. When I stated to paint, I thought to myself, “I can’t do this. I have no talent” I nevertheless learned techniques which, with practice, soon yielded tangible results. Each little lesson learned pushed me to try new things as I followed my curiosity and passion. I can help yo...

Mel K. says, "Shawn was brilliant and kind! He led an incredible painting session with the children at the DCH, guiding them as they recreated Edward Munch’s the “Scream”. The kids were fully engaged and focused - each adding their own creative touch. They had such a great time that they want to do it again! Next up they want to do Vincent. An Goghs “Starry Night”. Thanks for a fun and educational day." Read more

Crystalee P. says, "I have known Madeline since I was 7 years old. She was my art teacher. Her knowledge and patience gave me a love for art that I will never lose. I still remember the first painting that she instructed me in painting it was of Ariel and Flounder from Disney's "The Little Mermaid". When my daughter wanted to do art Madeline was the first person I thought of. We have been doing art lessons with her for over a year and we absolutely look forward to art time each week! You will get every penny out of your money that you pay for lessons. Madeline has such a passion for art and shares that in such a patient manner that really allows my child to connect with her creativity. Madeline also pairs this with technical skills such as the color wheel and different modalities of painting such as watercolors and acrylics. I unequivocally recommend you bless your children with the amazing gift she shares with her deep-seated knowledge of art and all of the fantastical magic she adds to it you wont regret it!" Read more

Sonah M. says, "What Andres a great teacher is that he listens to his students carefully. He is excellent at teaching values, colors, temperature, edges, and drawing. He teaches how to compose pictures and sets up still life arrangements with great detail. His explanations are easy to understand, and he snakes even complex concepts simple and does so quite effectively. He responds to questions promptly, always keeps his promises, and engages with his students rather than teaching in a one-way manner. He is very patient and demonstrates painting and drawing techniques, offering a wide variety of methods. I highly recommend him at any level. He can meet you at your level and make you grow."

He makes his personal skills easy to understand and communicate and the way I have grown as an artist in the past 3 years with him is beyond anything I ever expected of myself, let alone something I ever expected an artist to be able to communicate to another person as a teachable skill. If you’re on the fence about hiring him, please do yourself a favor and do it!" Read more

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

  • 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?

Alfredo is a super mentor. He starts with basics but if you have experience he will go where you want. He works on a painting simultaneously with you. Color theory, Values, etc. Well worth it.

Israel is very patient and encouraging! I started out not feeling confident in my work and he kept walking through it and by the end of the class I had drawn my first proportional mannequin! I was amazed at what I was able to accomplish. Israel's instructions are very detailed and he does a great job of helping beginners and explaining the goals we have set for ourselves. I definitely recommend him!

I could leave a novel length review regarding how good my experience was with my first round of sessions were with Alfredo. I had absolutely no experience painting with oils prior to my classes. As our sessions went on, Alfredo created snd altered my class structure to accommodate what I needed. He didn't just teach me how to put oils on a canvas, but explained the importance of everything from the care and cleaning of your brushes, materials he recommended all the way to explaining color theory, sketching and more. He has played an integral role in me using art and painting to finding peace and putting smiles on my face. I cant wait to see my progress in our next round of sessions. Not only is Alfredo a great instructor, but hes my mentor and my friend. Hes helped a U.S. Marine Combat Veteran find a way to push an illness aside and use art to be happy. I hope I'm able to attach my paintings below. One is my very first completed painting and one about to be completed, and could not look anything like they do with Alfredo's guidance. They are pieces painted prior from other artists.
