I am an award winning painter with many years of experience in traditional paint mediums, printmaking, photography and three dimensional construction. I have discovered that the joy of watching students successfully learn art making is as enjoyable as art making itself. I have been painting for thirty plus years and have won many awards and have exhibited in galleries. When I stated to paint, I thought to myself, “I can’t do this. I have no talent” I nevertheless learned techniques which, with practice, soon yielded tangible results. Each little lesson learned pushed me to try new things as I followed my curiosity and passion. I can help yo...

Fun is the main ingredient to my lessons. I worked for Paintnite so I have plenty of experience on teaching big groups as well as individuals. To show people one doesn’t need to be scare of producing art no matter what your skill level. Art is good for the mind, heart and soul

Yevgeniya G. says, "Shakti is an excellent artist and teacher. I worked with her on an event at Cafe Phenix in 2009. Having her live painting at her opening made the show even better and everyone really enjoyed the experience. I worked with her again at a Fundraiser we hosted for the Hopewell Community Garden. Shakti graciously donated her time to come and teach an art lesson to local children and helped make the fundraiser fun for families. I would highly recommend Shakti for parents who are considering lessons and for business and gallery owners." Read more

Where I have taught classes from ceramics to painting and many other art forms in between, my mixed media art classes are some of my favorite. I like to think outside the box but am willing to work with each person's individual needs to help fulfill your desired outcome. I started teaching in the early 1970s when asked to develop and teach for 4 private after school art programs. Helping people in creating their visions is a passion of mine. I attended the Ivy School of Art in Pittsburgh until it closed in 1980. I then attended UNM after moving to New Mexico. I enjoy seeing the vision in my mind's eye come to fruition. Often the vision chang...

I absolutely love teaching, and sharing my love of art with my students. I am skilled at customizing my classes to my students' ability and skill levels and to what makes them passionate. I can teach classes that help students get in touch with their inherent creativity, as well as more traditional classes in perspective, drawing, color theory etc. I love giving people the gift of connecting with their own creativity. I specialize in working with adults who have been creatively blocked or feel that they are somehow not "allowed" to be creative. I

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's your cancellation policy?

Recent success stories from people in the Rio Rancho area.
Walker T.
I had a private lesson with Shakti during a recent stay in Santa Fe. She was a great teacher, encouraging me to try a variety of mediums and explore my relationship with paint and composition. Very knowledgeable and professional while easy to work with. My only regret is that I can't keep on learning with her.
