Otto H. says, "Austin is legit a great guy: very dedicated to, and involved with his students in teaching his craft. His works are incredible by the way so you know you’re working with some who knows his stuff. I had no experience whatsoever in painting but he made me feel welcome and spent the time with me I needed. One of the first things I’m excited to get back to doing after covid is attending his classes and viewing his works." 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

  • 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?

Dena is warm and funny. The first thing she said when she started the class was, “Nobody ever died while taking her class.” We all laughed and it broke down the fear of failure. Since taking her classes I have been inspired to continue painting and I have found a wonderful hobby that de stresses me and gives me a great deal of joy. I would highly recommend Denas classes. They are so much fun and a wonderful way to spend an evening. She is a great teacher.
