Mabel C. says, "I was very pleased with my initial consultation with the talented instructor, Joe Sikora. I have been painting for many years and was looking for something like this, where I can improve my skills in a quiet environment. The hours are flexible, which I need, since I work full-time. The fees are also very reasonable, and I look forward to signing up for classes and to continue learning from someone with so much experience. " Read more

Robin L. says, "Sarah brings so much joy to my art experience weekly. She pushes me to step out of my comfort zone and is always introducing new ideas, artists, and ways to approach a challenge. She explores options and helps me achieve my artistic goals, or encourages me to be bold and play. The energy in the class is healing and I always walk away having learned something and feeling like I accomplished something. The camaraderie is outstanding, and Sarah is playful, fun, and very intuitive. She is an amazing teacher, a very talented artist! Taking classes with Sarah is the best gift I have given myself.

Hello! My name is Jahni I’m 25 years of age I’m a painter, student, and art teacher. I’ve been painting professionally for 5 years and been painting since I’ve been able to pick up a brush. I’m always excited to teach kids how to make art using variety of different mediums from painting,sculpting,making collages, or digital art and many more. I show kids how they can make art out of almost anything and how art has no limits! I focus on how we can better understand and navigate emotions through art and show how art can be fun with tech and without. Creativity is at the heart of everything we do! Best, Jahni Hope

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?

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.

Renee really pushed me as an artist to explore myself, and different mediums I would have never experienced without her guidance. Not only does she provides the conversation and knowledge to expand your skills but the freedom to explore different mediums, and to make the crucial mistakes to discover what you really want to express. Without Renee I would have never discovered my passion for performance work without providing a context of the contemporary performance world, or my love for large oil paintings if she hadn’t bought a large canvas and invited me to just try. And it’s this broad range that makes her so valuable as a mentor. Renee helps her students transform just visual work into real art, which has meaning and emotion.
