I am a practicing Painter and performance artist. I work at a local Art Museum and would love to share my skills and knowledge with you! Paint has so much depth of color and emotion and will help the student deal with issues in life as well. Art making is therapeutic on many levels.

Tatiana M. says, "I had the privilege of studying under Kathy Flood for 2 years. We focused on many different paint mediums but focused primarily on watercolor and the techniques necessary to produce high quality and realistic artwork. At every stage Kathy was able to answer my questions and challenge my abilities and take me to the next level. It was exciting seeing the results of different brushes, paper and even quality of paints. These lessons have had a tremendous positive effect on the quality and quantity of my painting. Kathy is always friendly and a joy to have as a teacher. I highly recommend her skills as a teacher and mentor." Read more

Regardless of where you are in your artistic journey,I can meet you there and push you foward. You always have the option to either do a pre planned project or follow your inspiration if there is something you are interested in persuing. The atmosphere is always positive and relaxed yet at the same time, we are working diligently. I have a huge array of materials and I love to explore. The 90 minute class is often not long enough and usually everyone leaves wishing for a few extra minutes. Im interested in many different styles of art,from realism to fashion, manga , and mixed media and I get to share it all with amazing people....

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

  • Do you allow walk-ins?
  • What type of paint would you recommend for my experience level?
  • What's your cancellation policy?
