Erin says, "I’ve been collecting from Adrienne for the last five years and love her work. We collaborated on an incredible large scale, triptych piece and then I purchased a smaller piece a couple years later that has become my favorite in our collection. Adrienne has a distinct eye for movement and composition that I love- no matter how long I have these pieces hanging, I constantly find myself discovering elements of depth and nuance that I hadn’t noticed before.

Travis C. says, "Sam made art making about having fun! I was raised to feel like I had to make art that had to look a certain way. Sam taught me that art is about expressing myself and sometimes it takes some exploring during the art making process to find the expression, that it’s okay to not know exactly what something will look like at the end. Interesting enough he also provided me with tools for better planning ideas as well" Read more

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.

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

  • What type of paint would you recommend for my experience level?
  • What's your cancellation policy?
