R. C. says, "Sarah has worked with my daughter on numerous occasions over the years. She is truly a gifted artist, but her natural talent is working with children. I've watched her work in numerous capacities, and she is especially gifted with inspiring the youth. Since a toddler, my daughter has shown great interest in drawing, painting, crafts, etc. And through the years, Sarah has helped her to cultivate those skills greatly. At her school, she has been accepted into the gifted and talented program for art, and her appetite to create artistic masterpieces has increased. I credit Sarah for much of my daughter's artistic success, as I believe she helped to give her confidence in creating art at a very young age." 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?

Priscila is an extremely talented and knowledgeable photographer and to add to that a very patient and enthusiastic teacher. She is hands-on with composition, camera adjustments and explains the whys of what she is suggesting. Her classes are very informative but fun at the same time. Definitely time and money well spent.

Working with Michelle from Outta Our Minds is a blast! She does a great job connecting with her students while making Visual Art both fun and meaningful. While tying in approaches from many learning disciplines to her lessons, the projects Michelle has the students work on are diverse, paced to their abilities, and help each student grow steadily with constant interest. Highly Recommended!

Lori knows so many painting techniques and is able to effectively communicate and model these techniques as she instructs students. Additionally, she is very pleasant to listen to and to watch as she demonstrates techniques. She is honest yet patient, remembering your past successes and building on your skills. I had wanted to learn about painting with Pastels for some time and I was so happy to have found Lori and be able to take classes with her. Even though I’m not yet where I want to be as an artist, I have felt so creative, proud, and joyful while learning through Lori.

We were very satisfied with Betsy's art and teaching skills when she worked with our student organization for a painting fundraiser in December 2020. Betsy had a great setup and knew how to work with our audience of over 100 people. Betsy was eager to work with us when we explained what our event was and stayed in constant communication with us as we shared our event visions. Betsy went through two different paintings and was able to teach at a good pace for all experience levels. I highly recommend working with her for personal or group lessons, fundraisers, and more. Thank you, Betsy!
