I am an Artist and Teacher and have taught many people (children and adults) to creatively learn the use of watercolor and acrylic paints and drawing basics, for 20 years. My beginning classes include color mixing and theory, the use of water-based paints, experimentation, brush strokes, and composing and developing personal ideas for paintings. Paints are luscious and beautiful things. Knowing how to use the mediums gives one control over what and how to develop skills to paint with. Drawing concepts and basics are also a part of ongoing classes to help one to see color and shape and composition of the shapes and forms in objects they wan...

I am based in Seattle, I love creating calm, creative spaces where people can unwind and explore painting. My classes are designed for beginners and focus on simple techniques, soft guidance, and enjoying the process rather than perfection. I believe art should feel accessible, relaxing, and a little bit magical. My sessions are designed to be fun, social, and easy to follow, so you can fall in love the process without feeling overwhelmed. By the end of the class, you'll leave with a finished artwork and the confidence to keep painting. Looking to host a fun and creative painting session?

Nune H. says, "This class is one of the only things I look forward to. I’ve taken art classes before where I felt like it wasn’t about developing my strengths as an artist, but doing art that fits the approved mold. With Colleen, not only am I pushed to grow as an artist and pushed to develo my style, but I’m also exposed to innovation and experimentation. I never feel like I’m expected to be someone I’m not. I feel like I have grown a lot as an artist with Colleen, and I strive to continue to fill my life with art. She also does art shows and promotes our art on her social media. I’ve sold artwork with her as my teacher and it has taught me a lot as well." Read more

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?
