I love to provide lessons that are specific to what the student is interested in learning. The creativity, effort, and commitment are definitely what keeps us both inspired! I have experience with teaching so many levels of abilities as well as age groups and mediums, I'm happy to offer instruction to all. Self expression is ageless, and continues to be a universal language.

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

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?

Reviews for Lawrence painting classes

Recent success stories from people in the Lawrence 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.
