I am an artist classically trained in realism techniques from France and Italy. I have a BA in studio art from UCSD and have been teaching group classes and private lessons (from beginners to advanced) for 8+ years. I help artists develop their own, unique voice and guide them in their artistic pursuits. I enjoy working with amateurs or beginners, because they have no preconceived notions of how things should be done. However, I've helped artists of all skill levels and offer focused, more advanced classes on color theory, portrait painting, plein air landscapes, etc. If you've been struggling with a painting at home, I'd be happy to help yo...

I'm a professional artist with many years of experience creating works in oils, acrylic and pencil. I worked in the computer game industry for almost 20 years before I decided to focus full time on my own work. It wasn't until I started working as a live painter at music festivals that I really blossomed. Starting with a blank canvas and creating a painting in front of 1,000s of people was both scary and exhilarating. The way that I learned to work in that environment redefined my style as an artist. My work became more spontaneous and playful, it was full of movement and energy. After 15 years of working as a full time artist I have opene

As a watercolor artist, I embrace vibrant color, interesting shapes and self-expression. I teach the fundamentals of traditional watercolor painting, such as color mixing and paint application, and from that point I encourage students to play and experience the joy and freedom of painting as play, not work. Students will learn to mix beautiful colors with confidence, to make choices about what colors to use in a painting, and to develop strong compositions. My expressive, colorful watercolor paintings have won awards locally, and I am represented by Catherine Bede Gallery in Hillsboro, OR. I have a studio in SE Portland where I can teach ...

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?
