At $38, this sits toward the low end of the 14 single-session painting classes we list in New York. They run from $30 to $470, and the typical price is $245.
That works out to about $19 an hour for a 2-hour session.
If one session leaves you wanting more, 6 studios we list run multi-week painting courses, from $25.
It starts after work, which only 34% of the painting classes on our calendar do.

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.
