Laurie K. says, "I'm enthralled with Cameron’s passion for making art, she provides such wonderful insight and direction. I find her basic principles most helpful, especially for someone new to oil painting. Watching Cameron demonstrate her techniques, rather than just talking about them, makes all the difference in the world. Seeing her paintings evolve, from picking the colors and getting the palette set up to putting paint to paper from start to finish, is worth every minute. I also enjoy when she stops by your easel to discuss a work in progress and to talk about technique, process, and how to proceed. I can’t say enough about Cameron as a artist and an instructor, actually she goes way beyond, she is an amazing soul." 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?

Cameron Schmitz is a fabulous teacher! Her classes are characterized by positive energy, creativity and excellent organization. Every time I have the pleasure of taking a class I am struck by the way she can seamlessly blend time for painting, review and a helpful exposure to other contemporary artists. Her teaching method is grounded in solid experience in all aspects of the art world, yet she is sensitive to what it might be like to be a student just learning the basics of painting.
