Sheri P. says, "Alfredo is a fantastic instructor! I had tried to self teach by following YouTube videos, but nothing I found taught me with the intricate methods of the masters. He starts everyone out with a fairly easy master copy that he paints along with you so you can ask questions as you paint. And this first painting has the added bonus of starting you out with a high level of confidence and motivation because he makes sure it is terrific at the end. He has taught me about glazing, value studies , imprimatura, ala prima painting and more! I’ve been studying with Alfredo for nearly a year and I’m constantly amazed at how fast my skills have improved. It was honestly the best decision I made when I started painting." Read more

Kim G. says, "Alfredo is one of the most prodigious and skilled artists I have ever met. He makes his personal skills easy to understand and communicate and the way I have grown as an artist in the past 3 years with him is beyond anything I ever expected of myself, let alone something I ever expected an artist to be able to communicate to another person as a teachable skill. If you’re on the fence about hiring him, please do yourself a favor and do it!" Read more

I bring excitement to my teaching with great enthusiasm. I have been a teacher/instructor for more than 25 years. My approach to teaching is determined by my student or students in the class. I also think it is important to listen to my students or ask the question What would you like to learn or what is giving you trouble.No question is a bad question. I have a background in art that spans 30 plus years. I have a head filled with knowledge, and nothing pleases me more than to see my students take what I have taught and see them grow....

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

  • 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?

Lauren is well trained & highly proficient, adaptable, patient, fun and a great teacher. She caters to whatever interests the student prefers. I've been away from drawing for many years and Lauren has made the re-entry very exciting and motivating.

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.
