The important things in life are not what we normally consider important. Money, career, progress, success, work: when it comes to finding ourselves in this world and judging it worthy of existence, their minds are very tiny things. The FEELINGS and MOODS are important, through the COLORS and SOUL of a world that we live. (Wass Albert)

Being an artist and starting out can be overwhelming. There is so much information to take in, you don't even know where to begin. This is where I come in. Hi, I'm Serge and I've been a painter for 10 years doing mostly portrait commissions and learning a few tricks along the way. If you can't already tell, I'm an enthusiastic, accommodating, and dedicated artist with the ability to develop engaging hands-on lessons. My approach is to make sure that every student’s learning style and abilities are addressed. Nothing would bring me more joy than to help you get better at art faster than I ever did. Let's do it!

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

  • Avoid making large payments up front.

What questions should I ask painting instructors?

When looking for local painting classes, ask the following questions:

  • How long have you been painting?
  • 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?
  • How long are your classes?
  • Can I take my work home after class, or does it need to stay here to dry?

Painting Lessons With a Classically Trained Artist
Weldon C.
It was a pleasure to have found an instructor with extensive knowledge in art - both technical book knowledge as well as actual field experience with her own drawings / paintings (some on display at local Art galleries). Ms Sharma’s ability to translate those skills into her training class has resulted in an immediate and study growth in my Granddaughter’s drawing / painting within a short number of training sessions. Her in-home studio environment is excellent, the scheduled class times are great/accommodating and the cost is very reasonable. I have been exceedingly pleased with Ms. Sharma and would highly recommend her as a 5 Star instructor. If I could exceed that rating, I would without hesitation give her 10 stars, ......... and yes, she is just that good ! Weldon Carson
