Hi, this is Tim, I'm 64 and have been doing art of some kind or another for most of my life. I do Pointalism which are dots that's connecting them and ending up with actually a million dots on a page. Making a picture, it's a lot of fun. I evolved into doing chain art, Acrylic painting, which I love? As well as paint pouring for awesome abstractarts and watercolors. Caricatures Drawings are my current challenges,and am finding new and exciting colors to blend. Art comes in many different ways, and the Artis are their worst credits. But that's what makes you a better Artis. Looking forward to sharing with you all my fun! Timothy Mabry

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
  • 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?

I know how to sew, not really as experienced as Virginia is, but her enthusiasm for sewing has opened up new doors of excitement for me, her very lively and pleasant personality makes me feel excited that I am not only going to a class but that I am going to spend time with a friend. She has a vast knowledge of sewing which makes it all worthwhile.
