I would like to help those who understand that drawing from photographs is not learning but copying. I am interested in serious students who want to grow and learn how to grow. I am offering a friendly critique but require a commitment for a better results. The minimal course is six lessons. I can help beginners who just want to enjoy art with advice what to look for in their creativive efforts and how to set goals. i studied realistic painting in the art college in Astrakhan, Russia - 1968-1972 and Latvian State Art Academy in Riga, Latvia - 1977- 1981. Drawing is my strong point. i have a studio in the Pendleton Art Center, Cincinnati, Ohio...

Art changed my life at a young age because I had an art teacher who invested in my life. She nurtured my creative talent AND she also cultivated my self-esteem which is why I love teaching art! I seek to pay it forward by helping youth become their best, both artistically and individually. I will help my students gain artistic skills while reinforcing self-esteem. Students will build their confidence while learning specialized techniques in art-making. I earned my B.A. in Fine Arts and M.A. in Creative Arts Therapy. I served with AmeriCorps for two years, as an art educator. I have provided art lessons for individual sessions to parties to e...

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

  • What's your cancellation policy?

Daniel A.
I took one of Alison's painting classes and had a great time and learned so much. Her teaching style was fun and encouraging, while still being very impactful. She was well prepared for the class and the venue she chose made for a very eclectic, fashionable experience. Whether you are serious about becoming an artist or just looking for a way to have fun in a creative, artistic environment, I highly recommend taking one of Alison's classes.

Gary was patient and knowledgeable. Twice I thought my painting was beyond repair, but Gary, with his calm demeanor, showed me that all was okay and how to take what I thought was a huge mistake and with a few brush strokes turn it into a thing of beauty. Gary truly showed me how much joy painting can bring to your life.
