Question 1

How do beginners learn to paint?

Accepted Answer

Signing up for our painting lessons for beginners is the best way to learn to paint. Our tutors are experienced at instructing students who are new to this art form, and they know how to help them build a strong foundation.

For instance, if you’re just starting out, your tutor will likely introduce you to all the different painting tools, instruct you on basic techniques and brushstrokes, and begin to dive into color theory. From here, you’ll have the fundamental skills you need to take your painting skills to the next level.

Question 2

What is the easiest thing to paint?

Accepted Answer

The easiest thing to paint will vary from one student to the next. For example, if you have years of practice under your belt, what you find easy to paint may actually be much more challenging for a student who is new to painting. Because of this, we suggest working with a private tutor who will determine what skills you already have to help you find a good starting place.

You see, every painting lesson is different because we accommodate our students’ specific needs. If your goal is to learn to paint something easy, your tutor will design a personalized lesson plan to help you achieve that milestone. Once you’ve accomplished that goal, your tutor will challenge you even more to help improve your skills.

Question 3

How can I learn online painting for free?

Accepted Answer

While you might find some free online tutorials, if you’re interested in virtual learning, we recommend signing up for our online painting lessons. Although our lessons are not free, they are affordable, as the average hour-long session costs just $75. You can even find classes as low as $19, depending on your specific needs.

The reason why we suggest taking our online classes is that you’ll receive one-on-one instruction from an experienced, certified painting teacher. You’ll get much more out of our sessions than a free course, as you receive instruction from a professional tutor entirely committed to your painting success. During your online sessions, you’ll have the opportunity to ask all your questions and focus on the areas that most interest you. And the best part of all is that you can learn from the comfort of your own home!
