Tamikio D. says, "I had a delightful time working with Emily with their my first lesson. As a budding artist, I didn't think that I would ever understand the first lesson and help with learning how to draw water trees and the sand. Emily made me understand perfectly. And by the end of our first session, I understand how to draw water sand and trees. I did two practice pieces of artwork after she left and I see the difference. What I recommend her? I most definitely would!" Read more

After teaching for nearly 40 years, I began a tutoring business which has been going strong for nine years. I have helped countless individuals learn to read when other programs failed them. My background as a Reading Recovery teacher and twenty years of teaching remedial reading and math in the public schools have made all the difference! Besides teaching reading, comprehension, writing, phonics, spelling, English, study skills and test preparation, I also teach art on the side. I earned a Specialist (EdS) degree in reading instruction and a PhD degree in Education from Michigan State University. Before I retired from teaching, I was a

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 nationally, 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.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

Emily is so patient with my 6 year old son. She has all kinds of teaching techniques to keep him interested and really encourages him to use his creativeness to express himself. If we miss a week of lessons, my son wants to know why he hasn't seen Emily in 7 days. It's so hard to find someone so compassionate and understanding of a 6 year old mind. As my son would say, 1000/10 for Emily
