In the painting classes we show how to mix colors to create the many hues used in the composition. The comprehensive class covers essential aspects like blending, lighting, shadows, perspective, and foreshortening for a cohesive and dimensional final painting. Completion time is approximately 2 hours plus dry time.

What’s the difference between Beginner and Intermediate?
Beginner classes are tailored for those with minimal art experience. If you're new to painting, our Beginner box is perfect. If you want to progress or challenge yourself, opt for Intermediate. Intermediate classes move quicker, completing two paintings and four drawings in four weeks, while Beginners focus on one in a month.
What ages are these classes for?
The Beginner and Intermediate classes are for ages 11 and up, classes usually run 45-60 minutes weekly. The Jr. Homeschool Class runs 30 minutes and is for 2nd-4th grade. The regular Homeschool Class runs 40 minutes and is for 5th grade and up. When selecting a class, please take into account that some classes may involve the use of acrylic paint, which is non-washable.
Can I pick and choose what artwork I get to make?
Each month, we concentrate on a specific painting due to live instruction and nationwide participation. Yet, you're free to explore your creativity! Our instructors assist with techniques, but you're not bound to replicate the painting. Mixing it up is encouraged.
Do the classes build?
They progress each month but not sequentially. You can join anytime without missing out.
