I started teaching art to grade 2-4 kids for a year but moved to working as a painting class teacher for one of those franchise companies, eventually ending up working at Bottle and Bottega in Park Ridge. What was cool was it was so close to home, literally a stones throw away. I worked there for about a year and a half? Then I started teaching painting classes at home where I had set up a painting studio in one of our rooms. Things were going great, schedules began to fill up, then the Pandemic hit. My business never recovered. So, I had to rely on other stuff that I do to keep busy. Mostly my Live Caricature Sessions and a few Live Drawing

Robyn H. says, "When I began taking classes with Janet, I had not been doing any art for several years, so was anxious. Janet is warm, nurturing and encouraging and immediately put me at ease. She has a wonderful, relaxed approach to art. She often brings in books on artists to show examples of their work to help explain different theories, techniques and approaches in abstract art. In a short amount of time, she has gotten me completely absorbed in art, and I am confident I will keep learning and growing by working with her. " Read more

Painting in watercolors is my key to the secret garden, my way down the rabbit hole, my looking glass. Seeing my mother paint started it all. From an early age, seeing the process of transforming what was in the front of the eye onto paper always peeked my curiosity and struck me as magical. And over the years, that magical process went deep transforming from hobby to art. I would truly like to dispel the belief that watercolors are difficult. With an emphasis on technique and fun, anyone can learn watercolors! Painting is all about connecting with my inner self. It's uplifting in spirit, it’s serious play, it’s invigorating and the unpredict...

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

After working with Janet for over 6 months, I feel she is the perfect combination of artist and educator. Her understanding of technical skills, and the application of paint, brushes and canvas is obvious. Her knowledge of the history of art and her weekly discussions about individual master artists adds a richness to the material and exercises she suggests. But what I value most is her ability to understand that each student is a unique individual with their own directions, talents and potentials. She keeps an openess that brings out the best in us all.
