Hello, my name is Joseph and I am a fourth year architecture student. I studied visual art in high school and have since taught myself how to paint. What I bring to the table is a combination of design intellect and artistic expression. I am very passionate about what I do. I believe the key to learning any skill is patience and curiosity. Hence, I try to find out subjects my students are curious about, and urge them on with patience till they develop their own style.

Jasmine A. says, "Mikaela is patient and a great teacher at heart, besides being an amazing artist herself. She walked me through each step of my painting, from idea to drawing to choosing and mixing the right colors. At the end, she helped me come up with a painting of one of my favorite memories from when I was a child. She even helped me pick a custom frame and matting for my painting, which now sits above my desk. I definitely plan to take her lessons again and so should you!" Read more

I feel that I relate to people very easily on a one-to-one basis. I am a good listener, and I enjoy getting to know my students both as people and as artists. I am extremely patient. There is nothing more satisfying than being with someone when they find themselves artistically.

I offer adjustability and multiplicity. I can teach children as well as adults. I know when the student needs to follow my example, and when the students should pull the art from within himself. I also offer a variety of technical skills, from drawing, to painting, to computer graphics, encompassing color theory, perspective, human figure, composition, and more.

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?
  • Do you have an age requirement?

Reviews for Fort Lee painting classes

Recent success stories from people in the Fort Lee area.
Ziek P.
I’ve had classes with Rob in an art league class setting, a small private in-home group setting, and also private one to one instruction in his studio. My painting skills really took off under his direction. With Rob’s help I began to actually see the subject and the lighting with different eyes. What I especially appreciate about Rob’s style of teaching is his special ability to meet each student where they are. He’s working to help each student to their next step, rather than trying to teach them to replicate his works. I highly recommended Rob as a portrait art instructor.
