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?

Recent success stories from people in the Brockton area.

Linda K.

I was a complete beginner two years ago when I started painting with Michael. Although he was not excited about my novice status on day one, he patiently demonstrated the basics and taught me to keep going back to these simple principles. He encourages with a great sense of humor and gives students enough time to work on our own while always being available for advice. While I tend to like traditional approaches I truly appreciate Michael’s belief that “there is no wrong way.” My painting has come a long way in this short time period and has become a treasured part of my life. I have become a member of the Wellesley Society of Artists and have been participating in shows. I have even received Honorable Mention for a painting I exhibited at the Wellesley Library.

I signed up for art lessons on a whim, and I couldn't have found a better artist to learn from. Robyn has a vast knowledge of painting, and I'm able to learn new techniques every time I walk into the studio. The studio is clean, bright and filled with the wonder of possibilities every time you pick up a paint brush. Highly recommended for people that have painted, have never painted, want to brush up what they know, or want to learn the right way, and not just from YouTube pandemic art videos. You won't be disappointed!
