Intuitive Painting Workshop
About
A three-hour painting session with Forouzan Shemirani in which you respond spontaneously to materials and process rather than working from a plan. It runs 1–4pm at La Grange Art League, 122 Calendar Ave (La Grange Road, Metra BNSF), and costs $50.

At $50, this sits about the middle of the 45 single-session painting classes we list in Chicago. They run from $5 to $450, and the typical price is $225.
That works out to about $17 an hour for a 3-hour session.
If one session leaves you wanting more, 1 studio we list runs multi-week painting courses, from $325.

New to painting?
Painting and drawing classes run from relaxed one-night sessions that guide you to a finished canvas to multi-week courses in watercolour, oils, figure drawing or illustration.
- Guided one-night classes suit groups and first-timers; courses suit people who want to improve.
- Figure-drawing sessions use a live model and are usually for adults only.
- Materials are usually included in one-off classes; courses often send a supply list.
Taking it home: The same day, though acrylic and oil may need a few hours to dry before they travel well.
