Kathleen K. says, "I’m a semi-retired professional looking to fill my free time learning a new skill in the Arts! I was very fortunate to be placed in a class with Ms. Jennie Schut as my teacher. Jennie is a marvelous instructor demonstrating her vast knowledge in her field. My class was filled with first- time students as well as students who continue to gain experience each semester.

Growing up in Columbia, Tennessee, with an art teacher as our mother, we always practiced creativity & imaginationin our house. Every summer and school holiday, we spent hours painting, drawing, making playdough, creating found object collages, and much more. While we played, we were encouraged to reflect on our experiences in art-making to increase curiosity and grow intellectually. These warm memories of risk and reward fueled by imagination are what motivated us to create the Little Art House. We hope to provide inviting opportunities for people to imagine, explore, and create in a comfortable, encouraging environment. Please ...

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?

In my lengthy search for a creative mentor and teacher, I have finally found this in Jennie Shut. In addition to having an advanced education from a prestigious university, Jennie meets students where they are with any skill level or experience. In addition to that, she has a rare ability to intuit the guidance her students need on their creative journey. She creates confidence in her students by providing an atmosphere of acceptance, encouragement, and gentle instruction. Jennie has the ability to aid her students on their creative journey in intellectual, emotional, spiritual and holistic ways. I am deeply happy to be moving forward in my creative journey in a positive way. I consider myself very lucky to have found Jennie Schut.

George Ceffalio has incredible painting skills and teaching technique. Students can easily follow his instructions, and leave the class with a painting very much advanced. The most amazing part of painting with George is the fast progress from the initial stage. From canvas covered entirely with background color, detecting lights and darks is creating a solid base. Images emerge and within short time, and students enjoy entire composition and start introducing colors. George is always patiently helpful and encouraging. He is the best instructor I ever head.
