Anna S. says, "As patient as he is talented, Mat is an excellent teacher. I learned a lot from him and I always felt more like a collaborator than a student. It made me so much more confident in trying new things knowing that he was there to support me. My skills have improved and I know that, when I'm ready to take the next step, he'll be there to guide me through it." Read more

Valerie says, "If you follow this blog, you probably read my last post, a few weeks ago, titled Going Beyond the Stickman. I'm happy to report that, after 3 drawing lessons, I am already beyond the stickman and definitely well beyond all my expectations! Doing something that is completely out of your comfort zone can be both scary and humbling, especially when you're not a kid anymore. When I decided to embark in this new drawing adventure, I had no expectations other that finding another way to be 'in the moment' outside of photography. After all, my middle school art teacher strongly discouraged all art endeavors due to my "lack of artistic skills". She is probably the reason why I waited so long to pursue photography. When I think about it now, I was scarred very early by an art teacher who should never have been allowed to influence fragile young minds. I always wanted to know if anyone could learn to draw or paint without any predisposition or innate talent. Since I could hardly draw a stickman, I thought I would test the theory myself. Could I learn simple techniques to draw three dimensional objects for example? After three lessons with Donna Webb, a local artist, I can tell you that I never thought I would even come close to achieving the exercises pictured above. It's very basic and I may never get any better, but it's better than I thought I could ever do after a couple of lessons. I'm convinced that anyone can learn to become a painter, a drawing artist, a musician, a photographer, etc. but what will differentiate the true artist from the amateur is an innate talent that very few people have. I can already say for sure that I am not a natural drawing artist BUT I am having so much fun, and that's all that matters! I am looking forward to learning all about drawing perspectives next week! What's next? Learning to the play the cello possibly..." 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

  • What type of paint would you recommend for my experience level?
  • What's your cancellation policy?

Reviews for Edina painting classes

Recent success stories from people in the Edina area.
Richard C.
After I retired, I wanted to learn how to paint the places my wife and I were planning to visit. I had always been interested in painting, but books and watching videos just didn't do the trick. I heard about Mat from some friends of mine who bought one of his paintings and said that he was willing to teach me how to paint! I figured I was a lost cause, but he was able to help me learn the basics and soon I was able to paint anything I wanted! It was an amazing experience, and now I'm able to paint all the places my wife and I go to on vacation.
