Alexandra N. says, "Had a blast! Anjl is very open, fun and supportive. Stan was the same. I haven't painted since high school art class. This reminded me how much I enjoy it and I surprised myself. Walking around and seeing everyone else's finished vision was eye opening. We all have creativity in us. Just have to allow it to come forth. Met some great people and laughed all night!

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

  • 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?

Erica C.
Working with Sree was a delight! She is patient, and is great at guiding me in my painting projects. Very friendly, an amazing artist, and I aspire to put her lessons to work in my own art. I've enjoyed our lessons immensely.

Carl is musician first, guitarist second, which I appreciate a lot. He has an uncanny way of knowing what to teach me next. This goes all the way back to our first lesson, when I gave him a few tidbits of information about where I was with the instrument and what I was looking for. He started off with some cool modal stuff that I'd never seen before that tied what little I already knew together beautifully. I leave every lesson with new insights, feeling motivated and excited about my progress. (And believe me I've had my share of guitar instructors for whom I would not say the same.)
