Adrian J. says, "Hello! This is Adrian Jimenez and my friend Bassie was my guitar instructor. Guitar is an instrument I been wanting to learn for a while, and when I found out Bassie was a guitarist, I wanted him to instruct me. The main thing I appreciated bout Bassie was his patience while teaching me. Considering I only did half hour lessons, he would find different methods to teach me how to remember each string, like using (E)very (B)oy (G)ets (D)inner (A)t (E)ight. He also showed me different strumming methods by providing real life examples what it’s like to strum, the motion your hand should do that is. Unfortunately I didn’t have the time needed at times to attend some lessons but when he postponed with me, we were still able to pick up where we left off and I liked seeing his reaction of me still getting the chords and strumming correctly after postponing. When I get the chance, I’ll definitely go back to taking lessons with Bassie to continue learning to play the guitar." Read more

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

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 questions should I ask painting instructors?

  • How long have you been painting?
  • 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?

My daughter has been taking art classes with Kasey for about 2 months and she has learned so much in a very short time. She is enjoying every moment during the class with Kasey and is improving her skills at a very fast pace. Kasey is very nice and kind and his teaching approach is wonderful. He explains the methods and allows her try on her own and then they discuss together how to improve. He is always very responsive if she has questions during the week if we have questions about new art supplies. We commute to Kasey’s studio for about 45min every weekend and me and my daughter feel what she’s learning is worth the ride. Highly recommended!!!

Israel is very patient and encouraging! I started out not feeling confident in my work and he kept walking through it and by the end of the class I had drawn my first proportional mannequin! I was amazed at what I was able to accomplish. Israel's instructions are very detailed and he does a great job of helping beginners and explaining the goals we have set for ourselves. I definitely recommend him!
