I studied studio art and design at Texas State but have been doing art for most of my life. I prefer landscapes and abstract art. I work primarily in acrylics but do enjoy oil and cold wax. I have had several shows here in Austin and am currently exhibiting at The Hive Gallery at Beecaves. I like to tailor painting lessons to the student- their influences, their background as it relates to art, what moves them in a painting, what colors draw them in, and such. I find this information to be very valuable to student and teacher!

Michelangelo wrote, ''Inside every piece of marble is a creation waiting for life.'' My painting, sculpting, and even my etch-a-sketch art is not something that begins externally and wakes us up internally. It is an Internal process that when everything else is chipped away, produces a creation that was already there. My job is to help you awaken the creation within. I don't always follow tradition or technique, but I always follow the essence of peace one feels when the creation is finished. I enjoy the passion and inspiration I feel when I begin each new piece. I have discovered the secret of ''wild creativity.'' Who says the paintbrush an...

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?

Reviews for Austin painting classes

Recent success stories from people in the Austin area.
Craig M.
I came to Beth with 40 years experience in printmaking, needing an introduction to acrylic painting. She had a broad variety of artistic tools to show me including creating/selecting colors, different brush strokes, and different approaches to portrayals (impressionistic, realistic and abstract). Jieun Beth is talented, fun to work with, and flexible in tailoring her approach to students' needs. I highly recommend Jieun Beth!

Shaun really provides great resources so that you can continue to practice and learn on your own. He showed me an easier way to make different characters and put them in a story scene. Before that I couldn't really draw my own stories.
