Robin R. says, "Emily is an outstanding teacher who knows her stuff! I’m a nervous novice and after only 2 sessions with her, I’ve drawn a charcoal piece and painted a beautiful oil painting. My husband arrived home from a trip and thought I bought both pieces. Emily is just great. She’s super easy to be with and to relate to. She’s so inspiring and encouraging. My anxiety is no longer there and I’m looking forward to doing my next piece tomorrow. I’ve found a slice of joy!!! She’ll be in my life for life." Read more

My art classes are meant to help us use what we already have. As a self-taught artist, my process involves painting without a direct plan. The process is to trust and tap into our unique selves to create a piece and then try to reflect on the piece and see in what ways we can evolve from it. Having displayed my work in multiple galleries, selling internationally, and teaching art classes has provided a purpose. I am hoping to connect with you and tap into the inner artist you are.

Your Painting Lessons questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Lessons.

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?
